the claim

Antidepressant use increases suicidal thoughts in people under age 25 compared with placebo.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that antidepressant use increases suicidal thoughts in people under age 25 compared with placebo?

Partly. One regulatory source documents an FDA warning that antidepressants are associated with increased suicidal thoughts in people under 25, while an ecological study found no association between antidepressant prescription and suicide rates in the under-20 group. Neither source provides placebo-controlled evidence of increased suicidal thoughts in under-25s, so the claim is only partially addressed in both directions.
