THINKING AND BEHAVIOR
(SUICIDALITY) IN CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS, AND YOUNG ADULTS IN SHORT-TERM
STUDIES OF MAJOR
DEPRESSIVE DISORDER (MDD) AND OTHER PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS. ANYONE
CONSIDERING THE USE OF
CITALOPRAM TABLETS OR ANY OTHER ANTIDEPRESSANT IN A CHILD, ADOLESCENT,

BALANCE THIS RISK WITH THE CLINICAL NEED. SHORT-TERM STUDIES DID NOT
SHOW AN INCREASE IN THE
RISK OF SUICIDALITY WITH ANTIDEPRESSANTS COMPARED TO PLACEBO IN ADULTS
BEYOND AGE 24; THERE
WAS A REDUCTION IN RISK WITH ANTIDEPRESSANTS COMPARED TO PLACEBO IN
ADULTS AGED 65 AND
OLDER. DEPRESSION AND CERTAIN OTHER PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS ARE
THEMSELVES ASSOCIATED WITH
INCREASES IN THE RISK OF SUICIDE. PATIENTS OF ALL AGES WHO ARE STARTED
ON ANTIDEPRESSANT
