Depression pills doubled suicides and suicide attempts in the most reliable observational studies. This agrees with data from the most reliable randomised trials. https://t.co/yGfUNqkz75 Behind paywall. Be aware: Most research is seriously flawed and tells a totally false story.

Must commend persistent work of Marion Brown,ret’d psychotherapist who witnessed so much akathasia. A helpline seems a good start ? IGNORED, requests for help IGNORED. Acceptance of facts IGNORED-how many more suicides needed for official response & action?@BBCNews @itvnews

How interesting it is that people wish to attack me on this platform. Why would they attack someone harmed by benzodiazepines and antidepressants and who campaigns to prevent harm to others. Where is the sense in that?
