Scholarly debate requires some scholarship Keith. And suicide would be a fairly severe consequence of untreated depression or PTSD; witness the crisis among veterans today.
Are you proposing government mandated SSRI control? Or would you leave the choice of therapy up to well informed patients and adequately trained health care professionals?
Yes; I had some patients tell me "for the first time in my life I feel normal" after starting a SSRI, and others "for the first time in my life I felt like hurting myself".
I get it, as does anyone else paying attention, or who cares enough to do so.
And please spare us the (true) VA psychiatric horror stories; I live in Phoenix, home of the "waiting list until they die first" and I get that too. And it is a national disgrace.
