- Abstract
To quantify the risk of suicidal behavior/ideation (suicidality) for children who use antidepressants, the FDA collected randomized placebo-controlled trials of antidepressant efficacy in children. Although none of the 4487 children completed suicide, 1.7% exhibited suicidality. The FDA meta-analyzed these studies and found sufficient evidence of an increased risk to require a black-box warning on antidepressants for children.
