ANTIDEPRESSANTS ‘LIKELY INCREASE SUICIDES IN ALL AGES’

ANTIDEPRESSANTS AND SUICIDES… THEY ‘LIKELY INCREASE SUICIDES IN ALL AGES’

ANTIDEPRESSANTS AND SUICIDESToday I want to share with you a really good article found in the National Post.  The subject is antidepressants and suicides.

The article goes into how deceptive the drug companies have been and continue to be in reporting the suicide rate of people who take these drugs.  It said:

“The review was carried out by the Nordic Cochrane Centre and analyzed by University College London (UCL), who today endorse the findings in a British Medical Journal editorial.

After comparing clinical trial information to actual patient reports, the scientists concluded pharmaceutical companies had regularly misclassified deaths and suicidal actions or thoughts in people taking antidepressants to “favour their products”.

Professor Peter Gotzsche, the lead author, from the Nordic Cochrane Centre, said: “Antidepressants don’t work in children, that is pretty clear, in the randomized trials children say that they don’t work for them, but they increase their risk of suicide.

“What I get out of this colossal under-reporting of suicides is that [antidepressants] likely increase suicides in all ages.” Commenting on the findings of the review, Prof Gotzsche added: “It is absolutely horrendous that they have such disregard for human lives.”

Here’s a link to the complete article about antidepressants and suicide.  It’s well worth a few minutes of your time to read it!

My advice is to eat whole, healthy food; get off sugar, preservatives and processed food.  That cured my depression several years ago!

Helping you achieve Major Wellness in your life!
