A recent study found that people ages 50 and over who regularly took antidepressants called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) had double the rate of fractures as people not using such medications. Other research points to depression itself as a source of endocrine changes that can damage bone.</SPAN></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.medindia.com/news/Antidepressant-Use-May-Boost-Fracture-Risk-From-Harvard-Womens-Health-Watch-21459-1.htm">Whether the danger comes from depression, the drugs used to treat it, or 
something else, doctors are paying more attention to this association. During 
the 1990s, depression began to emerge as a possible cause of bone loss, rather 
than a result. <BR></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.medindia.com/news/Antidepressant-Use-May-Boost-Fracture-Risk-From-Harvard-Womens-Health-Watch-21459-1.htm">Scientist</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.medindia.com/news/Antidepressant-Use-May-Boost-Fracture-Risk-From-Harvard-Womens-Health-Watch-21459-1.htm">found lower bone mineral density in those who were depressed.
