Dear Tom,
I have done heaps of constellations on people who have been
on antidepressant and also on people who have come off them. For none of
them have the antidepressants been an issue so far. Then again only one had
trouble coming off the antidepressants but she eventually succeeded. The
rest found the depression a much greater problem than the antidepressants.
Of course constellations can be very helpful for depression when there is a
systemic entanglement such as "I go instead of you (into death) " If this is
addressed in a constellation it may help to make antidepressants unnecessary
for a particular individual. This, of course, is a good thing.
Perhaps the information you have found on the web is not particularly
representative of real life. I do know that it is not a good idea to
prescribe these medications to adolescents whose brains are different to
adults and respond differently. However, in Australia most doctors are
responsible enough not to prescribe them for this age group and to monitor
for the uncommon side effect of agitation that causes the most serious
reported problems in adults. Like most medications, when used sensibly
antidepressants can be very helpful and save a lot of suffering. Nonetheless
is still a very good idea to investigate why the prevalence of depression is
increasing in modern society.
Hasta la vista

The other evening on the late night Coast to Coast AM radio show, Ian
Punnett interviewed Dr. Ann Blake Tracy, director of the
<http://www.drugawareness.org/home.html> International Coalition for Drug
Awareness,
http://www.drugawareness.org/home.html
about the horrendous side effects of antidepressants, including suicide and
homicide, especially among young people in America.
Quoting from the C2C program website:
http://www.coasttocoastam.com/shows/2005/11/19.html
"Tracy specifically detailed the correlation between several school/work
shootings and antidepressants. She also revealed that Dylan Klebold, one of
the two students involved in the Columbine killings, was allegedly taking
the antidepressants Zoloft and Paxil."

I wonder if any facilitators have done constellations with clients who are
on antidepressants.
If so, have you observed the effects of the antidepressants in the field,
whether the client is still taking the drugs, or is going through the
withdrawal phase?
In reading through the many horrendous survivor stories on Dr. Tracy's
website (access here)
http://www.drugawareness.org/Archives/Survivors/survivor_index.html
it is clear that the effects are sometimes so intense that it would seem to
warrant putting the antidepressants themselves, or the withdrawl symptoms,
as elements into the knowing field.
