[Fwd: Dec 6 FORUM ON ANTIDEPRESSANT DRUGS]

[Guest guest]

Hi

I am forwarding this message to this list because of recent questions

about anti-depressant drugs. This forum has been around for a few years

and if people would like to interact with them, I think that some

valuable exchange of information could occur both ways.

Although antidepressant drugs have relieved depression for millions of

people, recent industry reports now show as much as a 25% reduction in

U.S. antidepressant prescriptions written due to growing public and

professional concern about their safety. The need for information on

benefits, risks, and viable alternatives is especially urgent now, with

depression rates at their highest in winter.
