Avaliação das consequências do uso indiscriminado de antidepressivos: revisão bibliográfica

Abstract

In recent years, the spread of antidepressants has steadily increased. However, there is mixed evidence to support drug treatment for depression. In addition, the effects of antidepressants on the user's quality of life are still controversial, and the risks associated with the chronic use of these drugs are well documented in the scientific literature. The objective of this study is to identify academic results related to the consequences of the indiscriminate use of antidepressants in the national literature and their main notes through systematic literature reviews. Antidepressants are only part of the treatment and several teams of specialists need to consider alternatives to properly treat patients. It is important to emphasize the need to seek expert advice before using these drugs, weigh their risks and benefits, and seek a better quality of life for the patient.
