ELI5: Why do some 'Antidepressants' increase the risk of suicide?

Surely they're meant to make you feel better? Why does this cause an increased risk of taking your life?

Understand that depression comes with both mental and physical symptoms.

Not only are depressed people not motivated mentally but physical also.

It takes at least two weeks for anti depressants to kick in before you see mental results.

However, the effects on the body happen quicker than the effects on the mind.

So for a short period you have someone who is still mentally depressed but physically not.

It is during this particular time period that the risk of suicide is highest.

Once the mental effects catch up, the risk ~~disappears~~ diminishes.
