This has been talked about for a while.
Scott Adams took beta blockers for a short time and said they made him feel terrible and depressed.
This is a “duh” announcement. Depression side effect has been known for decades. Well maybe they finally reviewed it. Expect a new beta blocker which has “proven’ less side effect of depression to be released into market. Or new initiative to have the state run health organizations to start prescribing mild antidepressants...pardon the cynicism...but I feel our news cycle gets “manipulated a bit”...part of the “massaging” of people’s minds to get them to be excited about some new product.
