When the drug was introduced in the 1980s, it helped solidify the idea in many minds that depression was the result of a chemical imbalance. But the real story is far more complicated. - What causes depression? It's more than just serotonin
When Prozac was introduced in the 1980s, it helped solidify the idea in many minds that depression was the result of a chemical imbalance. But the real story is far more complicated. - Surprising Depression Treatments Show Promise
Traditional antidepressants like Prozac are widely used to treat depression by boosting serotonin levels, which researchers have long believed are at the root of depression. Research shows that other drugs, including ketamine — also known by its street name, Special K — may be more effective. - Antidepressants may delay breast milk production
Prescription pills are pictured in a file photo. Widely used antidepressants known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) may delay a woman's breast milk production soon after giving birth, a new study hints. - SSRIs may minimize risk of Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy
A groundbreaking study published in Elsevier's Epilepsy & Behavior provides evidence in mouse model that drugs known as Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs; one category of antidepressants) may reduce the risk of Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP). - Could antidepressants help reduce the risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy?
A groundbreaking study published in Elsevier's Epilepsy & Behavior provides evidence in mouse model that drugs known as Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs; one category of antidepressants) may reduce the risk of Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP). - Antidepressants Are Associated With Increased Risk of Falling
Nursing home residents with dementia who use average doses of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are three times more likely to have an injurious fall than similar people who don’t use these drugs. The association can be seen in people who use low doses of SSRIs and the risk increases as people take higher doses. The results are published in the British Journal of Clinical ... - Nursing home residents with dementia: Antidepressants are associated with increased risk of falling

The results are published in the British Journal of Clinical ... - Depression and chemical imbalance
The conventional wisdom about depression over the past 30 years has been that depression is caused by low levels of the chemical serotonin. But it's becoming increasingly clear to many researchers and mental health professionals that serotonin is only one factor in depression. - Antidepressants Might Raise Fall Risk in Nursing Homes
WEDNESDAY, Jan. 18 (HealthDay News) -- Antidepressants called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are associated with an increased risk of falls in nursing home residents with dementia, a new study finds.
