WASHINGTON (Sept. 13) - Federal health advisers considered Monday whether strong warning labels were needed on antidepressants because they have been linked to suicidal tendencies among children who take them.

what's your take on this - did they give anti-d's to non depressed kids as a control group to see if their suicide tendancies went up? doubt that they did. Is it just me, or isnt a reason to be on anti-d's is because you are depressed and may have suicidal thoughts? Isnt that sorta like saying kids who take insulin are more likely to have low blood sugar incidents?
