Antidepressants are increasingly prescribed, with 1 in 8 Americans using them. Young people, especially, are subject to suicide risk.
The Epoch Times details a $16 billion ($26 billion NZD) industry, in the US, full of horror stories of both children and adults suddenly committing suicide or wanting to kill or harm others after being prescribed serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) for depression, anxiety and trouble sleeping. SSRIs are marketed under brands such as Zoloft, Prozac and Paxil.
