BBC's documentary science strand Horizon wants to speak to people who have suffered side-effects from SSRI anti-depressants, which could include suicidal feelings.

We would like to increase awareness of such experiences, so feel these are stories that need to be told. This would form part of the film we are making which looks at our relationship with modern medicine.

We are also keen to speak to people who have had a really positive experience of anti-depressives, that enabled them, for example, to get on with their lives.

If you are interested in sharing your story then please contact Sarah Warman on 0208 008 0472 or email me at sarah.warman1@bbc.co.uk with your contact details.

At the first instance we would just be having an informal conversation, and there is no commitment to take part.

Thanks, Sarah
