Thread: Do antidepressants work?

That's the stupidest thing I've read all day. It's only 10 AM though. Connections to Scientology, much?

"Antidepressants double the suicide rate"
Wow, if you're going to warp statistics by wording them like shit, you might as well just fake them altogether. Ever considered what kind of people would take antidepressants?

Was this an actual CDC study or was this something you got as a Fwd: fwd: fwd: Re: Fwd: Re: in your email and decided to share?

It's usually good form to back up outrageous claims with references.

Ya, seriously...
source?

My opinion, they work for some, and not for some...thats all medicine...I personally take 5-htp for my slight depression...well I haven't been depressed in a long time because the 5-htp works of course...

But yea, they do work..for some

I don't know much about the benefits/harms of anti-depressants, but if my doctor told me I needed them, I'd probably tell him to stuff the prescription down his throat. In fact, the act of stuffing paper down his throat would probably cure my depression. It's just my preference not to delve into things like that. Hell, I hate when the doctor tells me to take anti-biotics.
