I challenge you because I am much more interested in giving people here good information that making you feel accepted. I work with doctors every day and have for over 10 years, I teach them in residency training, I consult for them regarding meds, so YES I know what they do to make a medication decision. You have professed to know so much about how doctors make decisions, and how it is so flawed, why can't you answer a simple question that is directly relevant to this topic of antidepressants and their effectiveness?
By the way I have ample research training, and yes we are trained to tear down research to learn how to examine it, but one moves beyond that exercise in futility when as a practicing doctor you have 15-30 minutes to make a very important decision about someone's life.
