ive been saying it for years.
if cigarettes didnt cause cancer, they wouldnt have a warning about it on the packs.
if depression medication didnt cause suicides, they wouldnt have a warning about it.

U.S. public health officials, psychiatrists, grieving parents, outraged former patients and others are addressing the most bitterly divisive question in psychiatry: Do the drugs that doctors prescribe to relieve depression make some people more likely to commit suicide?
The Food and Drug Administration decided to convene a government panel for the first time since 2004 to consider the question Wednesday.
Impassioned testimony two years ago led the agency to require antidepressant drugs to carry strong warnings that they could increase suicidal thinking or behavior in some children and adolescents. Now the agency is considering whether to require similar warnings for adult patients.

medication is directly linked to some suicides, but people usually just say the kid would have done it anyway, but as many believe, its the medication that actually pushes them to go that far.
