This is why I have a problem with Dr. Hyman's article.

"Why Antidepressants Don’t Work for Treating Depression"

Neither the article or the study says a single word about why antidepressants don't work. So why that title?

In the article he says in the very first sentence.

It is a catchy headline and has an opening statement that is not true. I don't see it as being responsible when the opening statement to your article is false.

The author of the study himself says that in the case of all 12 drugs looked at in all the trials looked at they were all significantly statistically superior to placebo.

You have said yourself that you have seen cases here where they do work. I have direct experience of them working along with a great many other people.

So how is it responsible for a doctor such as Dr. Hyman to make a blanket statement like "Antidepressants Don't Work." It is very misleading.

And I have a big problem with the clinical trials in the first place when it comes to antidepressants. The results whether positive or negative don't tell you much since they take six to eight weeks to work. It is real world clinical practice that counts.

I created this thread to point out what the study really found and what it's conclusions were because I saw many different articles that misrepresented the study.
