Mayo Clinic Highlights Uncertainty about Long-Term Use of Anti-Depressants

A GoodTherapy.org News Headline

While anti-depressant medications are able to help some clients who experience intense feelings of sadness, and may also help in attaining sleep and realizing greater energy, their use has become alarmingly widespread in the west. Short-term side effects associated with such medications are fairly well known, but as a recent informational piece supplied by the Mayo Clinic to a concerned writer notes, not much is known about the potential long-term effects of such drugs. As use increases and the length of time over which anti-depressants have been taken expands, greater knowledge on the subject is bound to appear –and many mental health professionals hope the news won’t be bad.
