According to a study by the University of Illinois, over 200 commonly used drugs have depression as a possible side effect. The researchers’ aim was to find out how often these side effects actually occur. They also investigated how much the risk of depression increases if not just one, but several of these drugs are taken. To this end, they analyzed the data of around 26,000 patients over a period of ten years. It was clearly demonstrated that the more “suspicious” drugs were taken at the same time, the more frequently depression occurred.

Since then it has been widely used. But is this widespread use really justified?
