[QUOTE="FunkOdyssey, post: 232713, member: 44064"] I'll post some studies now that address the question of whether antidepressant drugs are actually effective. [B]Are Antidepressants as Effective as Claimed? No, They Are Not Effective at All[/B] Joanna Moncrieff, MBBS, MRCPsych, MSc, MD1 (Can J Psychiatry 2007;52:96–97) Antidepressant drugs are claimed to have specific effects on depressive symptoms. It is assumed that they do this by acting on an abnormal brain state that gives rise to depression. In contrast, I suggest that there is no evidence for this position. The effects of antidepressants seen in depression trials can easily be accounted for by nonspecific pharmacologic and psychological actions.
