People that go manic, or can't find one that will work, those are the outliers, but they are also the people that have reason to be vocal about the failure of the options presented to them.

Most people seem to think they might work for others even though they don't work for them (not anymore). "Everyone's different, so it might work for you". Sounds familiar?
If it makes you weaker and it stops working after a few months and you depend on it because otherwise you'll feel worse than ever, it's dangerous, not a solution. Using benzos and antidepressants in exceptional circumstances, however, might prove to be a solution.
People like to believe it works, many convince themselves that it works even if it does not or that there's one particular med they just haven't tried yet which is a perfect match for them, because everyone's different.
Then again, no one here seems to struggle with depression.
