Why does antidepressants SSRI decrease IQ level?
Aug 23, 2014

Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
It hasn't seemed to affect the mind in the way of IQs.
people on SSRI s are just as smart, but maybe more focused and things don't bother them as much,however the effects differ from one to other ,as a short term effect it will be with low side effects compared to long term .
These medication may impair your thinking or reactions this is the effect but not IQ level
