Abstract An increasing number of studies suggest an association between depression and osteoporosis. In a mouse model, depression induces bone loss, mediated by brain-to-bone sympathetic signaling. Depression and bone antianabolic sympathetic tone are alleviated by increasing central serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) levels. However, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), the first-line antidepressants,...
