Teen Suicide Rates

Geeze I do sound like a know it all in this thread. I just hate to think of people suffering this crap unnecessarily, and it has more to do with my dad than me. He suffered in silence for 40 plus years with anxiety and panic attacks and thought he was nuts. He traveled a lot, and we didn't know it at the time, but sometimes he took us with him on his trips because he couldn't bear the thought of being alone in a hotel room. To this day he takes an MAO Inhibitor, which is just an awful drug to be on. Switching to a new drug would mean a month off of that and then another month before the new medicine would kick in, and the thought of that is more frightening than all of the problems associated with taking an MAOI.
