This gave me a laugh, partly because of the mildly self-congratulatory tone of the headline:  Antidepressants Increase Suicide Risk but Decrease Death Risk

It turns out that while more people on anti-depressants TRY to commit suicide fewer actually succeed.

The authors conclude, "Among suicidal subjects who had ever used antidepressants, the current use of any antidepressant was associated with a markedly increased risk of attempted suicide, and, at the same time, with a markedly decreased risk of completed suicide and death."

So now they are not only depressed, but a failure, too?  This is good? Well, it is after all the classical cry for attention and help.
