Just a few days ago I did a post on how avoiding dietary salt can cause hyponatermia and how the resulting hyponatermia directly causes severe anxiety. It just so happens that SSRI drugs are commonly prescribed for anxiety. So, once again, we have a situation in mainstream medicine where the prescribed drug not only does not ameliorate but causes de-novo the very condition for which the drug was prescribed in the first place. To make matters worse, the study below states that the risk of severe hyponatermia from SSRI usage has apparently been known for decades, yet nothing has been done so far to address those risks. If I were a conspiracy theorist, I would probably jump to the conclusion that this is deliberate negligence so that more and more patients develop anxiety, which then gets treated with SSRI, to generate even more anxiety patients. Big Pharma must be laughing at us for how gullible and incapable of critical thought we have all become, while making pharma companies obscenely rich.

“…Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and certain other antidepressants have long been connected with hyponatremia, but we have had only small observational studies to support this association. In this Swedish study, researchers analyzed data from 234,000 first-time users of SSRIs or venlafaxine. Each patient served as his or her own temporal control in a comparison of hyponatremia incidence before and after drug initiation. Profound hyponatremia, defined as serum sodium level <125 mEq/L, was most likely to occur in the first 3 months after drug initiation (adjusted odds ratio, 4.3, compared with 1 year prior).”
