TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Antidepressant and Suicide JO - Korean journal of biological psychiatry A1 - Lee, Boung-Chul A1 - Ham, Byung-Joo SP - 244 EP - 251 VL - IS - N2 - Depression is a frequent cause of suicide. Although there have been reports that SSRIs might increase suicidal ideations and behaviors, most studies found antidepressants are effective treatments of suicidal ideations and behaviors. Antidepressants have also been shown to have prophylactic effects in preventing suicidal behaviors. Most double-blind studies do not suggest a causal relationship between antidepressant and the increased suicidality. Our review results suggest that the undertreatments of depression are more significant problems with the use of antidepressants in suicidal patients.
