Dr. John O'Brien:

Can I get in on the suicide end of things because I may have misled the committee on my views on it? The whole business about the European-wide fall in suicide rates and the European-wide increase in antidepressants was just a statement of fact. No one can make the link between that fact and its causality. The causes and mechanics of suicide is a much more complex story than can be dealt with here. I am certainly not making the statement that upping the use of antidepressants will drop the instance of suicide. I am not saying that; I am merely making a global point.
