Psychiatric drugs, especially neuroleptics, are known to cause depression and suicidality. As such, independent organizations in Europe are trying to set up a suicide register, which would make the reporting of suicides associated with psychiatry and psychiatric drugs to the authorities mandatory. Peter Lehmann spoke about how some organizations are attempting to set up a registry that would document suicides in a meaningful and accurate way, as well as the many challenges encountered in pursuing this goal. He also demonstrated the importance of this project and its potential contributions to research that could help curtail the use of psychiatric drugs and other psychiatric interventions.
