Should antidepressants be given to people with suicidal tendencies?

[ComputerBug]

Depression: a psychoneurotic or psychotic disorder marked especially by sadness, inactivity, difficulty in thinking and concentration, a significant increase or decrease in appetite and time spent sleeping, feelings of dejection and hopelessness, and sometimes suicidal tendencies. If a person has suicidal tendencies & it has been proven that more people commit suicide on antidepressants than off why would we treat them with antidepressants? There are several other medications with warning about suicide, so why don't we listen to the warnings? Maybe we just need to push those people over the edge & be done with them. Please let me know why you would treat someone with suicidal tendencies with a drug proven to increase the risk of suicide?

Antidepressants Associated With Increased Risk For Suicide Attempts, Decreased Risk For Death
ScienceDaily (Dec. 7, 2006) — Suicidal individuals taking antidepressant medications appear to have an increased risk of additional suicide attempts, but a reduced risk of dying from suicide or any other cause, according to a large Finnish study reported in the December issue of Archives of General Psychiatry, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.

In 98% of the cases medication helps. the trick is finding the right medication. A life is a life and is a gift. A mental illness is no different than having diabetes, you take medicine to get well.

My mother takes antidepressants on a daily basis and it really has worked wonders for her. She used to have constant suicidal thoughts and/or thoughts of people ganging up on her. Honestly it was the only way to cure her and I have to thank God for that everyday. Sure there are times where she can't handle the situations where she is in but at least she doesn't have to struggle on a daily basis of living in complete depression.

Antidepressants DON'T increase suicide completion. What happens is the people start feeling better but not quite good enough yet. So they feel a little better but are still having some of the same stressors and ideas about hurting themself. They then have more energy (aren't laying on the couch). So they have the energy to follow through on their suicidal thoughts. So it's really during the beginning of treatment, the first month or two that people may be in that inbetween state. Having therapy helps them to have another outlet for their thoughts.
