I think ADs are far more dangerous as there worth has been questioned and they have a placebo affect but leave you with brain zaps when you try to quit. I think they are way over prescribed by GPs who don't differentiate between real major depression and the blues. That is what contributed to the idea that they are no better than placebos because for those with true major depression they are very effective. But until there are enough pdoc GPs will continue to prescribe for psychological problems, experience or no.
