IMHO anti depressants should not be allowed to be prescribed by GP’s but only by Doctors who specilize in mental health. Perhaps everyone should be given a placebo as a first step to observe the reaction of the patient?
They don't have enough shrinks. IIRC, only a few states, if that many, permit psychologists to prescribe psychiatric meds. As it is very few docs can recognize adverse effects from psych meds such as serotonin syndrome. You're going to be hard pressed finding psychiatrists beyond cities, IMHO.
