There's good news for people who use the most commonly used medications for high blood pressure.
According to a new study, none of them increases the risk of depression.
In fact, they may reduce it, or even prevent it.
The use of three classes of angiotensin agents, calcium antagonists, and beta-blockers was linked to a 15% decreased risk for depression.
UPI reports depression is common among patients with high blood pressure, heart disease, and stoke.
