_______________ have been linked to poorer anti-depressant response to SSRIs
- A.
Low level of homocysteine
- B.
Low folate levels
- C.
Low B9 Levels
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
B. Low folate levelsExplanation
Low folate levels have been linked to poorer anti-depressant response to SSRIs. Folate, also known as vitamin B9, plays a crucial role in the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin, which are involved in regulating mood. When folate levels are low, it can lead to a decrease in serotonin production and function, which may result in a reduced response to SSRIs, a common class of antidepressant medications that work by increasing serotonin levels in the brain. Therefore, individuals with low folate levels may experience less effectiveness from SSRIs in treating depression.Rate this question:
