Side Effect #4: Depression
Depression refers to a state of low mood that can affect behavior, thoughts, feelings, tendencies, and a sense of well-being. While a depressed mood can be normal in certain life events such as death of a loved one, it can also be a side effect of some medical treatments and drugs.
Depression may occur with the use of contraceptives, isotretinoin, beta-blockers, interferon therapy, anticonvulsants, and antipsychotics. Patients with a prolonged depressed mood should seek a professional opinion as there may be an underlying psychiatric or medical condition that may require and benefit from treatment.
