  Background: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) have the potential to reason an obtained hemostatic defect related to their capacity to inhibit platelet characteristics. Especially, SSRIs inhibit the serotonin transporter on platelets, causing a lower in intra platelet serotonin and diminished remarks activation at some point of dense granule secretion, leading to intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). Aim: This work aims to determine the safety of utilization of Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitors (SSRI), regarding the incidence of Intra-cranial hemorrhage (ICH). Materials and Methods: A systematic search was performed over different medical databases to identify Neurology studies, which studied the outcome of the SSRI users group versus the Non-SSRI users' group of patients.
