@dr_teralyn: Long-term SSRI use often happens due to dependence, but new research is finally recognizing the harm. The longer you're on them, the higher the risk of sudden cardiac death due to changes in heart rhythm. Don’t stop your meds, but talk to your doctor about this risk. Protect both your mind and heart. #SSRI #HeartHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #InformedConsent #SuddenCardiacDeath #PsychMedAwareness #HealthTok

Couldn’t it also just be correlation between the stress that anxiety, depression, and other mental heath conditions put on the heart in general?

Well if I don’t take the SSRI my risk of dying from self induced brain trauma is much higher.

This just shows correlation, not causation

What’s also bad for your heart is untreated depression. I think the mortality rate for that is higher

I don’t think the people on SSRIs are necessarily unhappy about that news

Did big pharma bots write half of these comments or? Why are we discouraging research lol

Did they say whether that increased risk was due to the medication itself or other contributing factors?

Without them I’ll end up on a grippy sock vacation. Causation does not always = correlation. W/o further research I don’t recommend scaring people like this. SSRI’s save so many lives

It’s incredibly misleading to talk about it as if it’s confirmed causation - it’s correlated, so are a lot of things.

From the article itself: It’s likely that the antidepressant use is just a marker of an underlying problem that led to the antidepressants.

That's okay, because the alternative to not being on them is 100% certain death

Risk of not taking an SSRI????? Greater than the heart risk!! Didn’t show the study long enough. I’m going to go look it up

People who are on SSRIs also generally suffer from higher levels of stress. I theorize it is the stress of their psychiatric pathology rather than the SSRIs that accounts for the trend.

The article said patients with a psych disorder have double the risk of sudden cardiac death. Ok, people who are on antidepressants for longer usually have more severe disease. It’s not a good study and they even state that more research is needed.
