Finasteride Use: Evaluation of Depression and Suicide Risk
The study found no significant correlation between oral finasteride and depression/suicide reports from 2006 to 2011 but noted a significant number of such reports in 2013-2018 and 2019-2023. This increase may be linked to heightened awareness of AEs following the recognition of so-called PFS in 2012.
