Dealing with a Patient with SSRIs’ Prescription

Therapists often have the most contact with health care clients (Drake, 2008). Therefore, they are in a prime position to interact with them and prevent adverse reaction to medication. This contact is important for helping clients on multiple medications and those experiencing side effects. The aim is to help the client take medication correctly and cope with side effects effectively. Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) are antidepressant medicine, which has been received with both applause and criticism. It was referred to as wonder drugs when they first came off production lines, but with time, some studies have claimed that these drugs are not effective for normal, mild, or routine depression. According to some studies, SSRIs are not more effective than sugar pills except in severe depression.
