Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) experienced increased usage in the 1990s due to their low toxicity and minimal adverse effects. Throughout this period, several clinical reports indicated a link between the use of SSRIs and various bleeding disorders. A recent study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine found a distinct correlation between the use of SSRIs and upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract bleeding. The population-based cohort study was conducted within the 490,000 residents of a northern Denmark county over a five-year period.
