eli5-How does medication cause suicidal thoughts?
In: 2
My understanding – the medicine doesn’t make you have the thoughts, but could exacerbate your current emotions. Different medicines alter the chemicals in your brain, and have varying effects on different people, as well as people’s different situations. Easy way to say it, some medicines don’t work and you “could” slip deeper in depression. Consult with your psychiatrist about the effectiveness of your medication. That’s why they ask you a million questions on emotions, mood, feelings, etc. They’re trying to determine is a medication is effective or not.
