New research has found that long-term antidepressant use may increase the risk of heart disease.
While researchers at the University of Bristol found "concerning associations" between long term use and health issues, experts still urge people to use antidepressants if they are needed.
Over a 10-year period, the use of antidepressants was associated with an increase in heart disease and death from cardiovascular disease, reports the Manchester Evening News. Experts examined several different antidepressants including the commonly prescribed selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).
