Anxiety drugs may be blamed for suicide

Anxiety drugs have been shown in recent studies to increase the liklihood of suicide, expecially in teenagers. At issue however is the problem of overall benefit as weighed against the increased risk of potential suicide. Apparently, there isn't a major problem or we'd have huge numbers of people committing suicide.

All we need to ask is what are the risks as measured against the benefits. There are millions of people living more productive, healthier lives because of these drugs. Do we rally want to send these people back into depression because some are prone to an increased risk of suicide.
