Diabetes: Some antidepressants reduce death risk AskADoctor DailyHealthTips HealthcareMagic
Depression and diabetes are two major causes of early death — particularly when they co-occur. Researchers have found that taking certain antidepressants may reduce mortality risk.
Having diabetes increases a person's chance of developing depression by two to three times, but only 25–50% of those with both conditions receive treatment. Higher doses linked to fewer deaths "The incidence of major depressive disorder [among] individuals with diabetes is significantly greater than the general population," says Dr. Chen."Diabetes and depression each independently contribute to increasing total mortality."
When the researchers analyzed the data, they found that as the daily dose increased, death rates decreased. Other factors that increased a person's risk of death in the study cohort were being male, living in a rural area, having a lower socioeconomic status, and having more severe depression. On the other hand, those taking a medium daily dose of reversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase A were nearly twice as likely to die, and those in the high daily dose group had a nearly 50% greater mortality rate than those taking a low dose.
