I thought that I'd post a link to an article from the Psychiatric Times that I came across that discussed the findings of a very large study that looked at the mortality risk associated with the use of various psychiatric medications, since this is a topic that seems to come up on these boards frequently. I'll say really quickly that the study mentioned in the article found all levels of exposure to antipsychotics or antidepressants to be associated with a significantly lower overall mortality compared with no use of antipsychotics or antidepressants. However, exposure to benzodiazepines was associated with a significant higher risk of overall mortality compared with no benzodiazepine use.
Here's a link to the full article:
