there is a big thing today in the news, about antidepressants saying {quote Psychologists at the University of Hull say only the most severely depressed benefit from drug treatment.Other patients should be given counselling, they say.

The researchers analysed clinical trials of newer SSRI antidepressants, including Prozac and Seroxat, that had been submitted to the US medicines regulator.

They found in most cases that patients given the active drug did only marginally better than those given dummy placebo pills.

The benefits were only significant in a small group of the most severely depressed patients.

i was wondering what others thought about it
