Can Antidepressants Really Cure Depression?

No Clear Proof Still

Moreover, people who use antidepressants were discovered to have a 14 percent better chance of having a stroke, heart attack, or other cardiovascular events. The meta-analysis failed to find the difference between the outcomes of people taking SSRIs and those using tricyclics, an older form of antidepressants. But researchers could not conclude whether antidepressants resulted in premature death or not. Marta Maslej the lead author stated that “Antidepressants disrupt the functioning of monoamines (important biochemicals such as serotonin and dopamine), and these monoamines have important functions not only in the brain but all over the body.”

One Agreed Point

“For example,” she went on saying, “serotonin affects growth, reproduction, digestion, immune function, and many other processes, and it is found in almost every major organ. Disrupting the functioning of serotonin can, therefore, have different adverse effects, which can contribute to a risk of death in many different ways.”
All of the researches have somewhat the same conclusion, that if you use antidepressants, you should always consult your doctors when or if you feel there are side-effects.
