It blows my mind that accepted treatment for depression actually can make people more suicidal. But we can't give them anything that might make them feel good oh no, we can't have that
- spinchange 10y agoIt is a side effect we ought to one day be able to look back on and think it was still the dark ages of psychiatric medicine.
- temp122616 10y agoAre you implying that there's a conspiracy not to help people feel better? Also, DanBC's point is accurate - for people with mild/moderate depression, talk therapy is as effective as pharmaceutical therapy. Thus, we already do have treatments that do not increase suicidal ideation.
