   Anti-inflammatories May Help Ease Depression

   Oct. 22, 2014 -- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may help ease   
   depressive symptoms along with antidepressants, new research suggests.   
      
   The results link this additional use of NSAIDs -- in particular, Celebrex   
   (celecoxib) -- to people having better responses to antidepressants without a   
   higher risk of side effects. The study was published online Oct. 15 in JAMA   
   Psychiatry.   
      
   There may be a connection between depression and inflammation, evidence   
   suggests. Several studies have looked into whether anti-inflammatory drugs   
   might have antidepressant effects, with conflicting results, say the study   
   authors, led by Ole Kohler, MD,    
   of Aarhus University Hospital, Risskov, Denmark.   
      
   The researchers reviewed 14 trials that looked at the effects of   
   anti-inflammatory drug treatment in a total of 6,262 adults with depressive   
   symptoms or depression.   
      
   The researchers say most studies were small and lasted a short time. The   
   studies also "tended to exaggerate treatment effects."   
      
      
   Still, specific anti-inflammatory drugs, particularly celecoxib, showed   
   promise, and research should continue, they write.
