"... Psychiatric side effects of at least moderate intensity have included depressive disorders (reported as depressed mood, depression, dysphoria, major depression, altered mood, negative thoughts, suicide attempt, suicidal ideation) and abnormal dreams in 1% of patients. Depression and abnormal dreams have been reported in at least 10% of treatment-naive patients treated with emtricitabine and tenofovir.
