Medication is one of the pathogenic factors triggering mental disorders such as depression/suicidal behavior. Antiepileptic drugs, antibiotics and hormones may increase the risk of depression or suicidal behavior in patients. We provide an overview of the clinical symptoms, susceptible populations and major drugs that cause drug-induced depression/suicidal behavior. High-level literature such as meta-analyses or clinical trials were used to demonstrate the correlation between commonly used medicines and depression/suicidal behavior. We also pay attention to the severity of adverse drug reactions caused by different drugs of the same type, whether patients with drug-induced depression need to be treated with antidepressants, and which type of antidepressant should be used, providing a basis for clinicians to optimize treatment strategies.
