Ethical Human Psychology and Psychiatry, Volume 12, Number 2, 2010. Peter R. Breggin, MD The newer antidepressants frequently cause suicide, violence, and manic-like symptoms of activation or overstimulation, presenting serious hazards to active-duty soldiers who carry weapons under stressful conditions.

Antidepressants should not be prescribed to soldiers during or after deployment. antidepressant_induced_suicide military soldiers.pdf
