"60 percent complained of feeling emotionally numb" ... which is essentially what major depression is, interestingly enough. It isn't surprising that these drugs would cause depression and suicidal thoughts / actions. What is surprising (or was at least) is the rate at which doctors prescribe these drugs (SSRI, SSNRI, Wellbutrin) after barely knowing someone for 15 to 20 minutes. Their insistence that they have an answer when they have no idea what these drugs do or how they work is literally driving people insane. These drugs should come with a warning (along with many other "mental health" drugs like benzodiazepines) not only on the label, but from every doctor who prescribes them. But doctors and pharmaceutical companies make too much money to worry about ineffective, unstudied drugs such as these killing people and ruining lives. So forget that. Let's lie to people and tell them that help exists, it's in a pill, and that's all they need to feel better. If you want help, talk to a friend, not a doctor (psychiatrist usually) whose main interest is to keep you hooked and coming back for more. After all, in this case too, you are the product.
