Is there an anti-depressant counterpart to the FIN11 study?

FIN11 study was an eleven year follow-up study that looked at mortality in schizophrenic patients treated with anti-psychotics or not treated (https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(09)60742-X/fulltext). Just wondering if there is another big name study looking at mortality benefits with anti-depressant use for treating MDD. I'm thinking about presenting this at a journal club and it would be nice to have a study both for anti-psychotics and anti-depressants. Thanks.

Does anyone happen to know of any of the large studies looking at anti-depressants? I'd like to present it either way, I suppose.

I don’t recall the source, but there was data on suicidality before and after the Antidepressent Black Box warning that helped demonstrate the danger of untreated depression.

STARDs not what im looking for. More like studies looking at mortality or DALY reductions with anti-depressant use.
