abstract="BACKGROUND: Isotretinoin is an effective acne medication. The evidence for it causing depression and suicide, although widely publicised, remains uncertain. METHODS: Twenty-six semi-structured interviews with patients with acne were coded and subjected to thematic analysis. RESULTS: Isotretinoin was perceived to be effective but dangerous. The most well known adverse effects were depression and suicide. DISCUSSION: The overemphasis of serious psychological adverse events in patients might discourage the use of isotretinoin by those who might benefit from it.",
