Study shows antidepressant drugs increase risk of teen suicide in children with teen depression

The link between antidepressants - - teen depression and teen suicide - - and what you can do about it !

USA - - The FDA (Federal Drug Administration) has been accused of suppressing the release of clinical data provided by drug companies who produce antidepressant drugs. This unreleased clinical data showed a potential risk for an increase in TEEN SUICIDE using the now popular antidepressant drugs.

UK - - The same information about teen depression and teen suicide was made available to the general public in Britain during a review of drug company clinical trial data in 2003 by the Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency (MHRA).

THINK YOU'RE DEPRESSED?
START BY TAKING A SHORT QUIZ

The MHRA, which licenses drugs in the UK, discovered that drug company data showed teen suicide tendencies had been as high as 3% in teen and children test groups.

Drug companies conducting clinical trials on antidepressants used terms like "various psychiatric events" and "emotional liability" to describe suicidal behavior that was exhibited by children and teenagers with teen depression who participated in these studies.


Suicide tendencies in children were as high as 3% of the test group during the drug companies clinical trials of the now popular antidepressant drugs.

"Various psychiatric events" and "emotional liability" are terms used by drug companies to describe suicidal behavior exhibited by children.

Clinical Trial Review
Dateline, 2003
 

Antidepressant drugs used to treat teen depression
are now being reevaluated as a potential cause of an
increased incidence of teen suicide.

The use of antidepressant drugs in Australia by children under the age of 18 is estimated to be as high as 13,000.
An article in the SocietyGuardian.co.uk reported that in 2002 doctors in the UK wrote 170,000 antidepressant prescriptions for children under the age of 18.
In 2003 the antidepressant drug Efexor, made by the drug company Wyeth, was taken by at least 3,000 British children.

  • An estimated 13,000 children in Australia under the age of 18 are using antidepressant drugs
  • Doctors wrote 170,000 antidepressant prescriptions for children in the UK under the age of 18 in 2002.

Examination of drug company clinical data has revealed that the use of antidepressant drugs can cause your child to feel murderous and suicidal.

Your child or teenager may be more likely to consider committing suicide after starting this type of depression drug therapy.

Studies have shown that antidepressant drugs may be no more effective at treating teen depression than a placebo. Furthermore, these drugs are generally not recommend for use by children.
Based on evidence that was not released by the FDA, not only may your child be at increased risk to committing suicide if you allow him or her to use these drugs, but other family members using these drugs may also be at risk.

June 2, 2004 - New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer filed a lawsuit against GlaxoSmithKline, alleging the drug giant "engaged in repeated and persistent fraud" by concealing critical scientific studies about the safety and efficacy of Paxil used to treat depression in children and adolescents.

GlaxoSmithKline Plc under pressure, recently published results of trials showing the drug Paxil is broadly ineffective in children and adolescents and could increase the risk of suicidal behavior.

Canada August, 2004 - CanWest News Service Reported four teenagers in Canada have died by suicide while being treated with these widely prescribed antidepressants. The most recent reported suicide involves a 14-year-old boy who killed himself after being on Paxil for 25 days.
The New York Post reported that the FDA disclosed during the past ten years at least 110 American kids have killed themselves while taking antidepressants.


"In 1991, we said there wasn't sufficient evidence to support a link," said Jeffrey Lieberman, a professor of psychiatry and pharmacology at the University of North Carolina and a member of the panel. "Now there is evidence, at least in children, and I wouldn't rule out that it's in adults, too."

These antidepressant drugs are known as Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors. Most studies have found that SSRI's are no more effective at fighting teen depression than sugar pills.

WITHDRAWAL FROM SSRI DRUGS IS A DOCUMENTED FACT

YOUR DOCTOR MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT THE WITHDRAWAL EFFECT OF SSRI'S. SOME DOCTORS WILL EVEN DENY THE EXISTENCE OF SSRI WITHDRAWAL EFFECTS.

However, there is an extensive library of documented withdrawal cases.


Seven of the 10 American specialists who served on a Food and Drug Administration panel that formally cleared the drugs of ties to suicide say that the new information would prompt them to reconsider.

Doctor Ray D. Strand, author of the book DEATH BY PRESCRIPTION,
Copyright © 2003 writes that "America's "number-four killer is adverse drug reactions to properly pre-scribed medication, with more than 100,000 estimated deaths per year.

  • Imagine how you would feel after learning about this information after losing a child to suicide?

  • What if you had another way - an alternative, non-drug way for someone in your family to manage their depression?

  • What if the alternative had the proven ability, based on clinical studies, to achieve desired changes in brain chemistry without exposing your child, teenager, or loved one to the risk associated with the use of antidepressant drugs?

WHAT IS IT - THAT CAN DO THIS?

It is the

"LISS CES"

The LISS CRANIAL ELECTRICAL STIMULATOR

 

The LISS CES works without using drugs by altering the level of neurochemicals (brain chemicals) such as Serotonin and Beta Endorphin using electric current.


"No, this is not electro convulsive shock therapy. Far from it. Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES) is a type of low-voltage electrical stimulation which offers a non-pharmacological means of correcting neurotransmitter imbalances in the brain in order to facilitate the relief of depression, anxiety and insomnia, including when these symptoms are associated with addictions."

Robert J. Picker, M.D.
ISSSEEM Newsmagazine, Winter 1993
 

Depression, mood management, Anxiety/Phobic Disorders and insomnia are all classified as serotonergic symptoms.

The LISS CES has a proven record of being able to alter serotonin and other brain chemicals enough to lift depression in as little as two weeks after beginning treatment.

The LISS CES was designed and developed by Dr. Saul Liss with degrees in Biomedical and Electrical engineering and Bernard Liss. Dr. Liss is an international lecturer on the effects of electrical magnetic stimulation in humans.


"In my opinion the Liss Cranial Stimulator alone with no other intervention brings at least 50% of people out of depression within two weeks. We also know that there are striking improvements in the neurochemical profile, particularly in beta endorphins and serotonin, in these patients when they have been treated in this way."

Q: I told my doctor about the LISS CES and he said it sounds like a TENS device?

A: The LISS CES is approved for sale by the FDA as a prescription device under the CES device classification. However, it cannot be compared to a typical TENS device. The LISS CES wave form is comprised of a unique combination of frequencies and pulse timing that is completely different from a typical TENS device.

Q: I What is a TENS device?

A: A TENS device uses electricity to induce neuron stimulation. The process is referred to as Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS). Most TENS devices use a DC current from a self-contained battery source, although AC is also used. The most desirable wave form is a matter of continued evaluation and discussion.

Q: How Does the LISS CES work?

A: The actual physiology of the phenomenon is poorly understood. One theory is that the process effects nerve fibers. The other theory is that the benefits are related to measurable changes in brain neurochemistry. The LISS CES has been shown to have a measurable effect on brain neurochemistry.

Q: How long does the effect from a treatment with the LISS CES last?

A: The duration of the effect of a typical treatment varies in several ways. Changes in brain neurochemicals have been measured by testing blood serum and cerebral spinal fluid up to four hours after treatment. The positive outcome for the patient from a series of treatments over as little as a two week period can last for an indefinite and unknown period.

Q: Is the LISS CES safe for use by children, teenagers and the elderly?

A:  The LISS CES uses a maximum of 4 milliamps and has been shown at the University of Maryland to be safe for use by children. Seniors have also found it to be safe and efficacious.

Q: Is it easy to use?

A: Yes. The LISS CES has only one control that works like the volume control on a transistor radio.

  1. Two pads are placed by the user as shown in diagrams that come with the device.
  2. When the pads are in place the user turns on the unit and adjusts the stimulation level.
  3. The user can monitor the level as indicated by the number of flashing lights - similar to a volume meter on a stereo.
  4. Each session is controlled by a preset session timer that automatically turns of the LISS CES after a preset time of 10 to 60 minutes.

Q: Do I have to do anything special when I use the LISS CES?

A: No. You can use it during normal daily activities like watching TV, or reading a book. Driving a car or operating equipment during treatment is not recommended although some researchers have reported doing so with no problem.


In the last 10 years I have personally treated over 5,000 patients where we used the Liss Cranial Stimulator as a routine as part of our multi-modal approach to chronic pain and depression. Clinically we often work with patients using some counseling, whatever physical therapy is indicated, and the daily use of the cranial stimulator. It is our impression that a significant portion of our improvement in the depression comes from the use of the cranial stimulator.

THE LISS CES SOLUTION

Step-1 ) If you have not been evaluated by a medical professional the first step begins by taking a short quiz. Your score can help determine if you may be having a problem with depression.

Save your score for use by your family doctor or physician. If your score indicates you may be having a problem with depression, the LISS CESS provides a viable option to using pharmaceuticals.

If your quiz score indicates you may be having problems with depression or you or a family member is taking one of the anti depression drugs, you may be a candidate for use of the LISS CES.

This self test is called the Zung Test. Your score can be an indicator that you may need professional help, further diagnosis and possible treatment for depression.
