YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Antidepressants are commonly prescribed to dementia patients for anxiety, depression, aggression, and sleep issues—but are they making things worse? A new study followed nearly 19,000 dementia patients for four years and found that those on antidepressants experienced faster cognitive decline. The effect was even stronger in severe dementia cases, and higher SSRI doses were linked to more severe dementia, fractures, and higher mortality rates.
