Science News,  Sept 29, 2007  by Karen Aiken

I was surprised to find no mention in "Antidepressants trim suicide tries" (SN: 7/28/07, p. 61) of the possibility that the decline in suicide attempts might be owed merely to the hope generated by beginning a treatment, rather than the treatment itself. I have known depression sufferers to be nearly euphoric after starting a new treatment.
