I'm pretty sure I'm hell banned, but forget about all the chemicals of the brain.

Read anything by Irving Kirsch.

He used The Freedom of Information Act to study All the antidepressants studies that were sent to the FDA by the pill pushers, Not just the cherry picked studies, but All.

He found they basically don't work better than Placebo.

Personally, I think the "Happy" drugs have been the biggest con job the American suffering have ever endured. At least we know opioids work--for awhile. Antidepesssnts just make Dr. Wealthy more wealthy.

My hope is most of these wonder drugs are sued into history, along with those mandatory doctor office visits.

Ask yourself this--why do Psychiatrists have the highest rate of suicide if these drugs work?

I'm glad we have residents whom picked an easy speciality upon graduation, but these drugs have such low efficy rates they should be illegal, or over the counter, with the exception of a few. Trazadone can be nasty. A bad reaction is cured by a needle to the middle part of the brain.

Most are easy on the body, but don't do anything besides make an Artist (Medicine is an art, and Psychiatrists are the milking to the bone.) wealthy.

God help our suffering Americans.

You shouldn't talk about drugs you have zero experience with either as a doctor or as a patient. SSRIs do work.

Only for severe depression, if you take into account all clinical trials - including the ones buried by pharma companies. This is the work by Irving Kirsch being referenced here, and it's excellent.
