050 Seven Tips to Create Your Perfect Day with Dr. CK Bray

For years, antidepressants have been the default solution for dementia patients struggling with depression, anxiety, and aggression. But what if they’re actually making things worse? A groundbreaking new study from the Karolinska Institute has found that dementia patients on SSRIs like Lexapro, Celexa, and Zoloft experience faster cognitive decline than those not on medication. Are we treating symptoms at the cost of accelerating the disease itself?

In this episode, Dr. Bray dives into the science behind these findings. We’ll explore:
-How SSRIs impact the aging brain—and why they may be ineffective for many people
-The hidden risks of antidepressants, including cognitive fog, emotional blunting, and increased fall risk
-A smarter approach to dementia care—why non-drug interventions should be considered first

The truth is, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to mental health and dementia. What works for one person may not work for another. That’s why it’s critical for patients, caregivers, and medical professionals to stay informed, ask questions, and do their own research before making treatment decisions.

If you or a loved one is facing a decision about antidepressants and dementia, this is an episode you can’t afford to miss. Listen now, and make sure you have all the facts before choosing a treatment plan because better decisions start with better knowledge.

"We need to ask questions and look for signs—because sometimes, the biggest tragedies come from what we didn’t see."
