The MNT has made a recent discovery about antidepressants being able to raise the risk of mortality. These research works have suggested that these drugs increase the risk of premature death. This was a study made by the McMaster University in Ontario, Canada, who came up with a meta-analysis of 16 studies regarding a total number of about 375,000 participants which pointed towards a 33 percent higher risk of premature death with people using antidepressants.
