Psychiatric side effects of non-psychiatric drugs

D A Smith. S D J Med. 1991 Oct.

Abstract

Many drugs prescribed for somatic diseases are capable of causing psychiatric symptoms in patients, especially in the elderly, the demented and probably in those who already suffer from a mental illness. In this study a random sample of drugs listed in the PDR was reviewed. In 65% of the drugs the manufacturer lists potential psychiatric side effects.
