Stimmt aber wer nicht sehen willen der sieht auch nicht und greift lieber die Person an die schlechte Nachrichten überbringt und ist schnell dabei zu pathologisieren wie es Elfried nachweislich tut. :-)

Meanwhile, there are many studies showing that antidepressants do cause suicidality and suicide in adults.
Next time you hear someone say that the FDA studies only showed increased suicidality in children and young adults as opposed to adults, remember that the adult studies, unlike the pediatric studies, were not controlled, monitored or validated by the FDA. This is one more example of the extremes the FDA will go to in order to protect drug companies and their often lethal products.

Informed consent: the premise of ethical medicine
I believe first and foremost in informed consent. If you are informed of the risks, benefits, and alternatives to a given treatment, you will be empowered to make the best decision for yourself based on your personal, family, philosophical, and religious life context. But the truth is that prescribers are not in a position to share the known risks of medications because we learn only of their purported benefits with a short-tagline of dismissively rare risks that are thought to be invariably outweighed by the presenting clinical concern.
But what about serious risks — including impulsive suicide and homicide — surely we are informing patients of that possibility, right?
Wrong.
