well, it was the authors' original hypothesis that SSRIs WOULD be protective against white matter loss, as, evidentally there have been reported that SSRIs inhibit platelet function.
Reduced platelet function might make people less likely to have strokes, therefore, there may be a protective effect.
The author's did not find the protective effect in this study.
Seldom.
