Kirsch’s study lumps all antidepressants together. Eg Paxil showed an effect size of 0.47, compared to Serzone’s 0.21. (After substracting the placebo effect's size of 1.2) Suppose that antidepressants were a growth hormone pill taken by short people. An effect size of 0.3 (standard deviation) is equivalent to a body height pill making you grow 0.8 in (2 cm), with placebo that's 2.6 in (6.6 cm). https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/07/07/ssris-much-more-than-you-wanted-to-know/ https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/07/07/ssris-much-more-than-y... https://slatestarcodex.com/2018/11/07/ssris-an-update/ https://slatestarcodex.com/2018/11/07/ssris-an-update/
