Cognitive therapy, behavioral therapy and anger management are vastly different issues than the issue of treatment of depression with SSRI drugs; and prescribing SSRI drugs without recognizing risks, acknowledging the danger, warning of the risks, and taking precautions against the patient causing harm to self or others.

For 20 years, industry blocked suicide warnings on SSRI drugs; and continues to block warnings for homicidal ideation and homicide, in the U.S., which prevents healthcare professionals and law enforcement from being able to evaluate the risk of SSRI drugs to patients, families, and society. Recognizing and understanding the problem is the beginning of finding a solution.
