Dr. Sanjay Gupta Responds to Study That Questions Effectiveness of Antidepressants

AFP: Patients suffering from depression are expected to raise questions about the effectiveness of their treatment plan following controversial claims by researchers who said that Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) drugs like Prozac and Seroxat are barely more effective than sugar pills in treating most people with mild depression.

What a crock?
If this was a compound that was not making billions for Gupta and his friends, would they be as “moderate” as they are about telling us we should keep taking it?

SRI’s have DEAD SERIOUS side effects, besides the fact that they cost $$ and make big bucks for the mental health profession. I don’t see how asking your doctor is going to do you any good – they are the ones who made the mistake of believing the hype in the first place. Now, all of a sudden, they know better?

This is a crime and an outrage that it will end up being 20 years or more before we are all experimented on enough for them to pronounce that this was, perhaps, just another profit center with no proof behind it. Amazing!
