It has been known since 1970 that blood pressure medications can affect mental illness. From that early awareness, that calcium channel blockers actually helped or could even cure certain types of mental illness in some people, further research finds that some blood pressure medications can cause or worse than one type of mental illness while helping another.
Despite this, your psychiatrist and the doctor that prescribes your blood pressure medication are not talking to each other.
