what key information would you educate the family about if your teenage patient who is taking SSRI for depression treatment? Anyone know of an example where an SSRI was beneficial to someone who was clinically depressed and/or suicidal?
The key information we would educate the family about if a teenage patient who is taking SSRI for depression treatment is about the dangerous interactions SSRI have with some medicines, both prescription and over-the-counter, including herbs and supplements. Thus before starting on an SSRI, the teenager should make sure to tell the doctor all the different kinds of medications and supplements you're taking. SSRI have been reported to be beneficial to people who were clinically depressed. My sister who is depressed after a divorce takes it and she feels better.
