Best Answer

Initially drugs like Accutane were linked to depression and suicide. Recent studies have shown this may not be true however. One can't ignore the possibility that most people with acne severe enough for Accutane likely already feel depressed about their condition. Compile that with the drug side effects or even worse if the drug doesn't clear their acne. Any of those factors could contribute to statistics showing a correlation between Accutane and depression/suicide. Given all of that there is no way to tell how every person will react to any drug. There is always a possibility of bad reaction, but I wouldn't say that this is something that would make this treatment option out of the question. Ask your physician.
