Cutting edge science from the University of PsuedoPscientology.

RESULTS: Five articles were selected from an initial pool of 4,123 articles.

The fact that this statement is found in the results section of the paper hints at the quality of it's content. Cherry picking 5 articles to support the hypothesis. What about the 4,118 other articles? This Bush-science. "Global collapse ensues"

CONCLUSIONS: Antidepressant drug usage is associated with AD/dementia and this is particularly evident if usage begins before age 65. This association may arise due to confounding by depression or depression severity.

So depressed people have a higher rate of mental stress and mental health problems? Did they have to go through +4000 articles to tease out this revelation.

With this confirmation that an association exists, clarification of underlying etiologic pathways requires urgent attention..

Great work team hypotheses confirmed. Association = Causation...?

I'd like to outline your argument, and have you agree or disagree with the outline, so I can understand your position.

  • Depressed people took medicine
  • The medicine made them more depressed
  • The additional antidepressant induced depression caused them to commit suicide

Is this your assertion?

Depressed people took medicine

Or it was pushed on them by Doctors more interested in kickbacks than curing people. Humans have existed just fine for what-100 thousand+ years without these substances. Why are there so many taking them now?

The medicine made them more depressed

I'm not a doctor. I have no idea what these pills are doing to the people detailed in SSRIStories.net I'd like to see some unbiased professional studies.

The additional antidepressant induced depression caused them to commit suicide

More investigations like this please:

The evidence that we need to examine concerns a statistically significant incidence: of suicide with diagnosed depressed individuals with no usage of antidepressants vs. incidence of suicide with diagnosed depressed individuals with out usage of antidepressants.
