That is a question that has been answered. The answer is YES. People have been kept well on antidepressants for decades. I have had the privilege to encounter these people and the doctors who treat them to be able to report with surety that your question has THE answer, and it is in the affirmative.

> 3) Will the drug not cause irriversable damage to their brain or body?

50 years of tricyclics and MAOIs, and 20 years of SSRIs cast doubt that such things occur. It is much more dangerous to allow someone to remain severely and suicidally depressed than to take a "chance" that these will eventually show themselves to be toxic in real life years and years and years down the road. As of now, they do not seem to be toxic IN REAL LIFE.
