Can drugs cause depression? A review of the evidence Patten SB; Love EJJ Psychiatry Neurosci 1993[May]; 18 (3): 92-102Drug-induced depressive disorders are classified in the DSM-III-R as organic mood syndrome, depressed type. The ability of certain drugs to cause depression is of clinical relevance because organic mood syndrome is a component of the differential diagnosis of depressive symptoms. Consequently, psychiatric textbooks often provide different lists of drugs thought to be capable of causing depression. Strong evidence supporting the existence of causal associations is often lacking. There is no specific drug for which there is definitive evidence of a causal association with depressive symptoms or depressive disorders. Nevertheless, for a number of drugs, the evidence is suggestive, although not conclusively, of a causal association. Despite this, rational decisions about the continuation or discontinuation of drugs can often be made. In this paper, the literature is reviewed and guidelines are suggested for the management of patients with depressive symptoms which may be related to drugs.|*Drug-Related Side Effects and Adverse Reactions[MESH]|Depressive Disorder/*chemically induced/psychology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Psychiatric Status Rating Scales[MESH] |
