Antidepressant drugs like Prozac and Zoloft are believed to help improve the mood of people who suffer from depression, and they have been prescribed liberally by doctors around the world for patients with this disorder. As with most any drug, there are Zoloft and Prozac side-effects that can in some cases be serious. That is why they should be prescribed carefully and only to patients that suffer from major depression.

However, a recent study by the University of Manitoba, Canada found that more the 25% of people who currently taking these drugs had no legitimate reason to be prescribed the drugs in the first place. This is a dangerous precedent due to the fact that patients can end up suffering from the side effects of the drugs when they were not necessary to begin with.
