The FDA on Kids and Antidepressants

Monday April 5, 2004
The MSNBC Article begins with "Last week the FDA announced that antidepressants, the very drugs that were supposed to lift patients out of emotional danger, might cause some of them to worsen and even turn suicidal in the first few weeks of therapy." Their coverage on this issue seems balanced - I recommend the article.

I have made my views known in a previous article: "Should Children Take Antidepressants?"
