Paxil Antidepressants

Alarming evidence on the Paxil antidepressants.  The Pharmaceutical Industry does have a lot to answer for it seems:

• Rather than warning doctors of side effects like suicide, GlaxoSmithKline encouraged them to prescribe Paxil to teens and children, citing their own research showing the drug was safe and effective for teens
• A reanalysis of the original raw data found no evidence that Paxil was effective for the treatment of major depression in teens; its effectiveness is actually on par with placebo
• It also found that serious side effects such as suicidal tendencies were mislabeled and misrepresented in the original study. Suicide was in fact 10.3 times more frequent on Paxil compared to placebo

Suicide: Frequent and Preventable

It is as sad fact that suicide is on the increase despite the fact that many people have a better lifestyle than their forefathers.  Depression has been rising and doctors are prescribing more and more anti-depressants.  I hope the article below can help a little to see what is being done and that nobody has to live with depression.  Depression, it is said, is when the client lives in the past, not the present and sees no hope for the future.  Well, there is always hope and with the right attitude and treatment we can go a long way to feeling better too.
