Why do antidepressants generally have a disclaimer that tendency to suicide may increase?
Seems to me that antidepressants are supposed to make people feel good about themselves!!

Depressed persons rarely commit suicide at the lowest point of their depression. They don't have the will or any functional capacity at that point. Suicides happen generally during the moderately depressed state.
The suicide risks associated with antidepressants are related to the diagnosis, not the treatment.
