i wholeheartedly agree!

i'm an armchair psychatrist, but one explanation i've heard for the phenomenon that anti-depressants sometimes have these effects that frightening things just don't look frightening anymore. hence the increased suicides. someone might have been depressed but when taking away the fear of suicide by tuning brain chemicals people see suicide as valid way out.
like everything these things are multifaceted and pretty hard.
