Antidepressants and suicide Print
Written by Sally Richards    Tuesday, 23 March 2010

From the week-end edition of the Sydney Morning Herald 20th March 2010. This article, "Slipping into the darkness", is relevant to Jackson's father Mac's suicide in June 2009.

One relevant quote:

"Suicide claims more Australian lives each year than road accidents. For every suicide, there are 30 attempts. It is also a known risk of depression, and pharmaceutical companies acknowledge that antidepressants may contribute to worsening depression and the emergence of suicidal thoughts and behaviours."
