'Antipsychotic drugs made me want to kill myself'
'Antipsychotic drugs made me want to kill myself' This is the really unhelpful and misleading title of an online BBC article reporting a Lancet paper on antipsychotic benefits and problems. The article itself is far more balanced. In fact, it gives a good idea of why so many people with psychotic illness do need to take medication and how much they can be helped by it. You can view it here . This sort of headline is absolutely the last way to present this kind of complex issue to the general public. The obvious effect will be to discourage people from taking medication or even seeing a doctor in the first place. I have complained to the BBC about it and it would be helpful if you did too.
