Two views on suicide risk with antidepressants

The recent FDA proposal to force antidepressants to carry warnings about increased suicide risk is the subject of a pair of articles by leading experts in The Annals of Pharmacotherapy. According to “Antidepressants, Suicide, and the FDA: A Loose Association,” the FDA proposal is premature and may be counterproductive. The companion piece “Antidepressants: an Avoidable and Solvable Controversy” cautions the warnings simply don’t address the fundamental problem. Both articles are posted at The Annals of Pharmacotherapy’s Articles Ahead of Print (www.theannals.com) and will appear in the journal’s October issue.
