Article Synopsis
- This systematic review examines the effects of progestins as part of hormone therapy on depressive symptoms in postmenopausal women, focusing on various validated depression assessment scales.*
-
- It analyzed 16 randomized clinical trials and found that adding progestins to estrogen hormone therapy did not worsen depressive symptoms and could improve them over time, although similar improvements were noted with estrogen alone.*
-
- The review concluded that while progestins can be effective, the combination of estrogen with fluoxetine may lead to even greater reductions in depressive symptoms compared to hormones alone.*
