Nationall,adolescent suicide rates have declined about twenty percent since 1990. In 2004 there were 79 suicides in New Jersy among those aged 10-24 years,an increase of over 20% from 2003. Preliminary 2005 data show 77 suicides, a very small decline from 2004. The number of non-fatal suicide attempts requiring hospitalization also rose in 2004 to 926, an increase of nearly 10%, but in 2005 declined by over 12% to 819. Approximately 40% of adolescents in New Jersey have some History of Mental Illnes (Antidepressants,SSRI'S,Antopsychotics & ADD/ADHD Drugs increase the risk of suicide); Slightly over 30% are currently being treated for a Mental health problem. This is similar to suicides overall. (This report doesnt mention the Percentage of Psochotropic drugs prescribed for non Psychiatric conditions, or kids who take it to experiment.. ie, "Pharma Parties". Toxcology results would help immensely.) Information was obtained by the CDC..... New Jersey has lower than average suicide rates for all age groups.

Psychiatry and psychiatric drugs all a big conspiracy designed get the public hooked on dangerous drugs that don't do damn thing. The FDA is in on the action too. They approved the drugs, of course, and are getting a big fat paycheck from every pill that's pushed. Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I see a UFO in my backyard....another government cover-up at work. Truthman, I agree.

But obviously not too soon to spin it in the favour of removing the black box warnings.. And the only interest a travesty like that would serve would be to further line the pockets of drug companies and psychiatrists.. If the APA promotes a study.. There is always an agenda behind it... Does Paxil study 329 ring a bell?... Or what about the APA's recent endorsement of SSRI's for pregnant women?.. ( despite recent and increasing evidence of birth defects) The agenda here is for the protection of the psychiatric regime and the pharmaceutical empire which it serves... Yes too soon too tell..
