Three quarters of people who have taken #antidepressants say they were helpful in new IoPPN research. 74.9% of UK Biobank participants who had tried at least one SSRI – citalopram, fluoxetine, paroxetine or sertraline – for at least two weeks reported they helped them “feel better” in a single item questionnaire. Participants who were older, male, had lower incomes, and reported alcohol or illicit drug use were more likely to say that they did not find antidepressants helpful. The study was funded by NIHR Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) and Wellcome Trust.
