Hi,
Thanks for the question and I appreciate your concern. Losartan potassium does not cause depression. It may cause dizziness or light headedness though. If you are feeling depressed I suggest you should visit a psychiatrist or you can even see your prescribing doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
