FDA Warns of Possible Drug-Suicide Link
AP story at PsycPORT - "Some anti-depressant drugs undergoing trials in children may be associated with suicides, the Food and Drug Administration said Monday. The agency said reports in the press and medical journals describe suicide attempts and suicides in children receiving antidepressants. Many such reports also have been submitted to the FDA. While the data do not clearly establish an association between the use of the drugs on trials and increased suicidal thoughts or actions by pediatric patients, FDA said it also is impossible to rule out an association."
