Mental Health and Ivermectin (Stromectol)
23 April 2023: Mental health and Ivermectin are two separate topics with limited overlap. Mental health refers to the overall well-being of an individual's emotional, psychological, and social state, while Ivermectin is an FDA-approved medication used to treat parasitic infections in humans and animals. While there are some anecdotal reports and ongoing studies exploring the potential use of Ivermectin in treating certain mental health conditions, such as anxiety and depression, there is currently no conclusive evidence to support its effectiveness in treating these disorders. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for any mental health concerns and to follow FDA guidelines for the use of Ivermectin for parasitic infections.
