ACNE pills and antidepressants have been targeted as potential triggers for teen suicide, in the National Children’s Commission inquiry into childhood self-harm.

Commissioner Megan Mitchell revealed she would seek ­expert advice on whether antidepressant and acne medications were contributing to self-harm and suicide among young Australians. “There is certainly a debate … in the community about the role of antidepressants and other medications, like acne treatments,’’ she told The Australian.
