Do Antidepressants extend lifespan?
No.
Longterm followup studies show it.
Stress is not reduced.
Suicides are not reduced.
Underlying diseases progress while misdiagnosed as depression.
New diseases/syndromes are created.
Remissions are a minority and commonly relapse within 3 years.Actually unmedicated depression patients who just try to live as healthy as they can the remainder of their miserable lives live longer than the medicated ones.
