The Long Term Care Professional Leadership Council (LTCPLC) wishes to provide information and comment regarding the appropriate use of antidepressants in nursing home residents. There are many appropriate indications for prescribing antidepressants. As with all other medications, antidepressants have both benefits and risks. It is reasonable to promote the careful use and periodic reconsideration of the need for antidepressants. The F329 Unnecessary Drug guidance encourages judicious decision making for all medication categories, including antidepressants.
长期护理专业领导委员会（LTCPLC）希望提供有关疗养院居民抗抑郁药合理使用的信息并发表意见。开具抗抑郁药有许多合理的适应症。与所有其他药物一样，抗抑郁药既有益处也有风险。促进谨慎使用抗抑郁药并定期重新考虑其必要性是合理的。F329不必要药物指南鼓励对所有药物类别，包括抗抑郁药，进行明智的决策。
