Do you know of any hypotheses, ideas or research that has been conducted relating to the link of using isotretinoin and mental health disorders?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Research : There are studies on Isotretinoin and mental health published reporting links of Isotretinoin and suicidal ideation, and depression. The hypothesis is the disruption on the metabolism of serotonin in the system. Always watch for changes in mood and behavior when prescribed this medication.
