A coroner has raised concerns over depression medication following Thomas Kingston’s tragic death, urging better communication on risks involved
Before his death, Thomas had been dealing with some serious mental health issues. He had been prescribed medication for depression but had stopped taking it shortly before he died. The coroner, Katy Skerrett, is now sounding the alarm about the risks of these medications, especially SSRIs.
During the inquest, it was revealed that Thomas had switched medications a few times, trying to find something that worked for him. But it seems like there was a lack of clear communication about the potential side effects and risks involved.
The coroner’s report is now in the hands of health authorities, and they have a deadline to respond. It’s a heartbreaking situation, and it really highlights the importance of understanding mental health treatments better. If you or someone you know is struggling, there’s help out there.
