Ms. Liu, who is in her 50s, was a serious heart attacker who had a myocardial infarction and almost died. Three years ago, she developed persistent depression after a myocardial infarction and sometimes felt worse than she did. At the doctor’s advice, she started taking antidepressants and, surprisingly, she never had a heart attack again. Although she could not be sure that all of this was a tribute to antidepressants, she was forced to stop using her antidepressant drug when she was escorted by her doctor once her antidepressant was surreptitiously taken off.
