Antidepressants would lead to dependence and withdrawal
The definition of substance dependence has changed over time in the DSM and ICD. In the most recent classifications, several criteria, including events such as behavioral, physiological and cognitive, must be met. This change, the researchers said, occurred during the revision of DSM-III in 1987 (DSM-IIIR) after recognition of benzodiazepine dependence, just before SSRIs are marketed in 1987-1988.
Moreover, in the studies reviewed, the symptoms when stopping the medication were described in terms similar to benzodiazepines and antidepressants and SSRIs were very similar for 37 of the 42 identified symptoms described as withdrawal reactions.
Antidepressants would lead to dependence and withdrawal
Refer to these reactions as part of a dependency syndrome in the case of benzodiazepines but not in the SSRI antidepressants do not seem rational, the researchers concluded.
