Major Research Findings
Antidepressant side effects are common and can affect how well treatment works for people with major depressive disorder (MDD). 2 One study found that the severity of side effects changed over time and was related to how well treatment worked. 1 Another study looked at how side effects of a specific type of antidepressant (SSRI) were related to differences in people's genes, specifically those involved in how the brain uses serotonin.
