Numerous studies have established the link between depression and suicide, and antidepressants themselves have been shown to ease the symptoms of depression, including suicidal behavior. News stories about the potential negative effects of these drugs have been well-publicized, but stories about the thousands of individuals who are helped by these drugs fail to attract mention. According the National Institute of Mental Health, suicide is the third leading cause of death amongst adolescents, so there is a great danger in not prescribing antidepressants to those who need them most. Thus, the risks of medication must be weighed against the risks...
...place kids on antidepressants that have never been sufficiently tested on maturing minds and bodies? There was certainly not enough evidence to prove that Zoloft caused Christopher Pittman to commit murder, as antidepressants have so far been related to suicidal ideation and not violence. This absence of the link between antidepressants and violence no doubt contributed to the jury’s guilty verdict. But because of the lack of clinical trials demonstrating their effects on children, it is also not necessarily possible to conclude that the antidepressant had absolutely no effect on his developing brain. Ultimately, the jury...

These people often become not only a detainee's only regular link with the outside world but their de facto case managers, investigators and lobbyists.

...Setting up tsunami-detection buoys in the Indian Ocean is the right idea. But such a warning system cannot guarantee safety unless it is supported by roads that link coastal resorts to large centers that could house evacuees and by emergency public transportation that could be mobilized when an alert is sounded. There must also be a change in the architectural design of buildings in tsunami-prone areas. New construction should be able to withstand severe flooding and earthquakes. When all these measures have been taken, casualties and fatalities will be minimal in the event of another tsunami. Augustine...
