Another possability is that the rate of such suciaility induction is underreported. Think of all the people who have taken SSRI's that may have felt worse, but just assumed it was their illness taking a turn for the worse?
Its just like sexual side effects. There may have been a time when such effects were dismissed, in which case the poor patient would end up blaming themselves for such problems.
When the issue has been brought to the forefront, a lot more people who have had such side effects can relate. Afterall, the last thing you would blame on your suicidality is your antidepressant.
