Antidepressants are medications used to treat major depressive disorder, some anxiety disorders, some chronic pain conditions, and to help manage some addictions.[1] Common side-effects of antidepressants include dry mouth, weight gain, dizziness, headaches, sexual dysfunction,[2][3][4][5][6] and emotional blunting.[7][8][9] There is a slight increased risk of suicidal thinking and behavior when taken by children, adolescents, and young adults.[10] A discontinuation syndrome can occur after stopping any antidepressant which resembles recurrent depression.[11][12]
