Weir discusses on the safety of antidepressant drugs in treating depression especially in teen patients. She plays to your emotions in the beginning of the story with the use of survivors of the Columbine attacks and how it could have been stopped with the use of antidepressants. She goes on to tell how to identify depression and the early signs of it. Serotonin, the “happy juice” of the brain, is also described in this piece which helps in understanding how the SSRI drugs work for the body. (4 pages)
