Suffering from depression is one the worst emotional experiences there is. More than one in ten Americans take prescription antidepressants even though they often do not work and can actually make the problem worse. A recent study at the Emory University School of Medicine has now found that antidepressants cause your arteries to thicken 400% more than aging. Arterial thickening causes loss of the natural elasticity in arteries, and this is linked with heart disease and stroke. These findings are one more thing to add to the list of the potential harmful effects of antidepressants.
