I am a 39 year old male and have suffered through acne since my teens. I have very oily skin and all the creams and pills have provided only temporay relief. My new dermatologist recommended that I try Accutane. However, my dermatologist warned me about the side effects of this drug to your mental health such as depression, suicidal thoughts, etc. This concerns me because I had a severe depression back in my teens ( I am okay now), and I have a brother who is suffering from a major depression. I also have other immediate family members and extended family members with other mental health issues. So my question then is am I more susceptible to the mental health side effects of Accutane than a person who does not have any immediate or exteneded family members with mental health issues? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
