Strongly suggest you read the study before you condemn the report.

Secondly, i do not doubt the the TOTALITY of he treatment offered by your physicians helped many patients, but the study from Harvard and many from the UK clearly demonstrate that the chemical agents worked only to a very limited amount.

In 86% of the cases, pts on placebos got as well, as quickly, as did those on Prozac.

In addition, in approving Prozac, et.al., FDA ignored multiple studies that showed them to have virtually no effect, and only considered two studies that showed positive results.

Seriously, read the Harvard study. It's not about a claim that pts did not get well, it's about why they got well.

It's more likely to do with the fact the person actually had depression, anxiety, etc as a symptom of a missed ailment that after a few month cleared itself up. meaning ailment {could even be an infection} clears up and depression does.

Don't get me wrong there are those with long term depression and the meds do work well for them. But I think a lot is simply being missed these days in initial exams.

If the Harvard study said that Wellbutrin is an SSRI, it is useless.
