Beneficial and harmful effects of antidepressants versus placebo, ‘active placebo’, or no intervention for adults with major depressive disorder: a protocol for a systematic review of published and unpublished data with meta-analyses and trial sequential analyses
DiscussionAs antidepressants are commonly used to treat major depressive disorder in adults, a systematic review evaluating their beneficial and harmful effects is urgently needed. This review will inform best practice in treatment and clinical research of this highly prevalent and burdensome disorder.Systematic review registrationPROSPEROCRD42020220279 (Source: Systematic Reviews)

Impact of Body Mass Index on Serum Concentrations of Antidepressants and Antipsychotics
Background: Rates of overweight and obesity are higher in patients suffering from psychiatric disorders than in the general population. Body composition and enzyme functions are affected by overweight, and consequently, the pharmacokinetics of drugs may vary in overweight patients. Thus, overweight and obesity are important factors in psychiatric disorders and their treatment. This analysis aimed to investigate the impact of body mass index (BMI) on serum concentrations of the antidepressant drugs amitriptyline, doxepin, escitalopram, mirtazapine, and venlafaxine, and the antipsychotic drugs clozapine, quetiapine, and ...

Meta-analysis of the clinical effectiveness of combined acupuncture and Western Medicine to treat post-stroke depression
CONCLUSION: The therapeutic effects of acupuncture combined with Western Medicine on post-stroke depression are often better than those of Western Medicine alone, and fewer adverse reactions occur. However, more high-quality RCTs are needed to further confirm these findings.PMID:33522192 | DOI:10.19852/j.cnki.jtcm.2021.01.002 (Source: Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine)
