Couple of interesting papers

Posted by Cam W. on December 1, 2000, at 20:22:57

I found a couple of articles in this month's British Journal of Psychiatry, 2000; 177:

Gender Differences in Depression: Critical Review (M.Piccinelli & G.Wilkinson) p.486-492.

and

Deliberate Self-Harm and Antidepressant Drugs : Investigation of a Possible Link (S.Donovan, et al) p. 551-556.

Both are available online @ : http://bjp.rcpsych.org/current.shtml

In and of itself all this proves is that in the Southern Derbyshire Region
SSRI's then to increase deliberate self-harm (DSH), while TCA's don't nearly as
much. However, overdosing on TCA's, also a DSH, is a significant issue. You can't get
to LD-50 on SSRI's (resonably) but you can on TCA's.

It seems everybody goes thru some jitters at first on SSRI's. In some it is more pronounced, I wanted to jump out
of my skin on I forget which SSRI. Consider someone
who was already pushed to the edge; I can see how this might push them right over
the top. I think doc's and patients should talk about this, there is no reason to
suffer thru, with a stiff upper lip.

It's about time.

I hope you can understand my passionate posts regarding this phenomenon many months ago. I am not convinced that it is necessarily linked to akathisia.

It is clear that there is a neuropsychobiological substrate for both suicide and agression. They may not be very far apart.
