  12. Sorry about that last post.  My off-line reading system doesn't recover
  13. well from someone picking up another extension.  I'll try again:

  19. Yes, but a more common occurrance is that many patients who are severely
  20. depressed and suicidal lack the energy to act on their suicidal impulses.
  21. Once the antidepressant starts to work, they get back enough energy to
  22. kill themselves before the suicidal ideation receeds.
