Antidepressants are stealing the lives of millions around the world. 

 

Some are being harmed by debilitating side effects that can continue after stopping the drug and others are taking their own lives because antidepressants can cause mentally well people to become suicidal.  

 

This page is for anyone to share their stories and is split into three sections: 

​
