Allison Whitby on 01 Feb 12White, Nicole C., Toby Litovitz and Cathleen Clancy. "Suicidal Antidepressant Overdoses: A Comparative Analysis." Journal of Medical Toxicology (2008): 242. Nicole White in the graph from "Suicidal Antidepressant Overdoses: A Comparative Analysis." (2008), shows how many people in the U.S. take antidepressants, in order to demonstrate the common trend of antidepressant intake in the U.S. Nicole White supports her graph by showing sources of the statistics that were used, which were from the Center for Disease Control. The author's purpose is to show that teenagers 13 to 19 use antidepressants the most, in order to show that teenagers are the most at risk for depression. The author writes in a formal tone for those who read "Medical Toxicology" and anyone concerned with medicinal intakes of antidepressants. This graph shows how the number of cases in which antidepressants are subscribed decreases from the peak at the age range of 13 to 19 until death. This graph is credible because it is based off the statistics gathered by the Center for Disease Control. The graph can be used to explain how, the number of depressed individuals is high in the 13 to 19 age range. I will try to incorperate the information into my paper, and my project when I put it to action.
