Abstract
Use of antidepressants in elderly patients has raised concerns over the risk of impaired cognition and development of dementia. The research data evaluating this potential association are conflicting, however, with little information on the effects of long-term exposure or potential differences among the various classes of antidepressants (Wang et al., 2018).
