antidepressant

A new study has found that antidepressant resistance is more common than was thought: 48% of people have tried at least two medications without effect, while 37% have tried four or more. It suggests a need to rethink current treatment approaches.

A new study has found that antidepressants provide little to no benefit when it comes to relieving low back pain and sciatica. More research is needed into the long-term benefits and harms of using antidepressants in this way.

After comparing the long-term effects of the psychedelic psilocybin and a commonly prescribed antidepressant, new research found that both significantly reduced depression. However, psilocybin provided something more: a significant boost to quality of life.

Finding support and information from medical professionals lacking, people wanting to come off their antidepressant medication are turning to online groups instead, according to new research. The study highlights an ongoing problem that needs addressing.
