Montreal -- Women who take antidepressants are far more likely to enter

menopause early, a new study says.

 

Depression itself may bring about perimenopause prematurely, says Bernard Harlow

of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston and lead author of the research in the

latest Archives of General Psychiatry. He found that women who took

antidepressants were three times as likely to enter perimenopause as those who

did not.
