The authors conclude that "most suicidal events occurred in the context of persistent depression and insufficient improvement without evidence of medication-induced behavioural activation as a precursor." As 17 of the 18 suicide attempts occurred in adolescent patients on fluoxetine (see fig. 1 in the article), we interpret this study quite differently. Like all other SSRIs, fluoxetine increases the risk of suicide in adolescents.
