Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) such as urinary frequency and urgency are bothersome and associated with reduced quality of life. Atypical antipsychotics (AAPs) have been implicated in increasing the risk of urinary incontinence. In a large community-based sample of men and women, we examined the associations of AAP and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRIs) use with LUTS.
