what is the adverse side effect of having the anti-depression drugs? if there is, there is a possibility to harm.

before prescribing the drugs, why wouldn't pharmacists and doctors advise patients on lifestyle changes and nutritional? Are they assuming patients couldn't get well with these methods and straight away giving the last resorts - drugs to them? If drugs is prescribed, have the patients been notified about the side effects? Hope to get optimistic respond.

i am not sure SSRI is the 5-HT drug - the active compound in Prozac,
but Prozac has also been known to affect nearly every system of the body, including the nervous, digestive, respiratory, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and urogenital systems, and the skin and appendages. These side effect include, most commonly, visual disturbances, palpitations, mania/hypomania, tremors, symptoms of flu, cardiac arrhythmia, back pain, rashes, sweating, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and loss of sex drive.
Less Common effects include antisocial behavior, double vision, memory loss, cataracts or glaucoma, asthma, arthritis, osteoporosis, stomach bleeding, kidney inflammation, and impotence.
