[sSRI-Research] the suicide rateamong SSRI users is 752 per 100,000

It's an established fact that the suicide rate

among SSRI users is 752 per 100,000.

 

Now NAMI says that two thirds of depressed people

don't " seek treatment " .

 

The suicide rate of the non drugged population,

INCLUDING THE TWO THIRDS OF DEPRESSED PEOPLE WHO DO

NOT " SEEK TREATMENT " , is 11 per 100,000.

 

Even if the depressed non " treated " people

accounted for ALL of the suicides, it would still only

raise their rate to about 102 per 100,000 (of the

depressed population).

 

My figuring may be a little off, but no matter how

depressed , you are still at least 7 times more likely

to commit suicide if you are taking an SSRI.

 

I think NAMI's got some explaining to do.
