\"ThisLook around you: 11% of Americans take this particular prescription medication \u2013 which can double your risk of getting type 2 diabetes. Kind a frightening. <\/p>\n

So\u2026are you taking this medication?<\/p>\n

If you are, type 2 diabetes might be lurking around the corner (or already here). <\/p>\n

But let\u2019s end on a bright note: knowing if you are at increased risk for type 2 diabetes is the first step towards beating this debilitating disease. And you can<\/strong> beat it. <\/em><\/p>\n

A recently conducted meta-analysis published in the journal of Diabetes Care reveals that antidepressants drastically increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. <\/p>\n

The authors of the study share that the use of antidepressants has increased dramatically over the last decade, causing an adverse effect on blood glucose metabolism. <\/p>\n

Several studies linked the use of antidepressant medications to the development of type 2 diabetes; however, results varied depending on the types of antidepressants study participants were taking. <\/p>\n

For instance, one study revealed that the risk for type 2 diabetes doubled<\/strong> when patients used two types of antidepressants at the same time: selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors<\/em> (SSRIs) and tricyclic antidepressants<\/em> (TSA\u2019s). <\/p>\n

Southampton University researchers examined 22 studies and 3 study-reviews to find the connection between the use of antidepressants and type 2 diabetes development. <\/p>\n

The conclusion was loud and clear: those study participants who were taking antidepressants were far more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those who did not.<\/p>\n

Researchers conclude that there are a few reasons for this diabetes- antidepressant connection. <\/p>\n

Some antidepressants cause rapid gain weight, which as we know, is a significant risk factor to develop type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n

However, researchers point out that even after they took away all classic risk factors of developing type 2 diabetes, such as weight gain, bad diet, and lifestyle, the use of antidepressants appeared to have an independent risk factor. <\/p>\n

The authors of the study conclude that physicians should be aware of this dangerous connection between type 2 diabetes and antidepressants, especially when prescribing them in a higher dose and for a longer period of time. <\/p>\n

If you suffer from depression, remember that a pill can\u2019t always solve all your problems, especially when it can harm your health.<\/p>\n

Rather try to engage in some relaxing activities, social interactions, or therapy sessions. <\/p>\n

And if you do suffer from type 2 diabetes, don\u2019t lose hope! <\/p>\n
