Exactly. The problem is that people like the NIMH feel they have to accept and promote the efficacy of medications wheather or not they work or are safe.
For an organization like this to say, yeah these medications are making some people sicker, would be to significantly compromise their integrity. So they sweep it all under the carpet.
Some of the earliest investigators of the tricyclic antidepressants noted similarities to the amphetamines. If there was no connection between antidepressant use, and manic reactions, there wouldn't be millions of dollers poured into the research of animal models of antidepressant induced mania.
It is a big deal, as some peoples lives can be permanantly altered by such diagnosis.
