- Abstract
More and more studies are drawing scientists' attention to the possible link between oral retinoids and suicide. The third-generation retinoid isotretinoin is the main one used in the treatment of severe acne. Many adverse psychiatric effects, including depression, anxiety, and suicide attempts, have been reported since the use of isotretinoin. Proper recognition and treatment of psychiatric side effects in patients with acne are crucial given the risk of death and injury. The present study examines the relationship between isotretinoin used in the treatment of acne and the occurrence of depression and suicide.
