Women taking anti-depression drugs are known to have a higher BMI, had a circumference larger dish, as well as signs of inflammation are more than women who did not take anti-depressant drugs.
All symptoms are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes, as reported by U.S. News. These results are reported researchers in the American Journal of Public Health, published on 13 June.
