I spot-checked your first citation and it doesn’t support your claims in the slightest. It literally says that patients who continued taking their medication had lower relapse rates than those who stopped: > > Compared with patients whose antidepressants were discontinued, those with continued treatment showed much lower relapse rates (1.85 vs. 6.24%/month), longer time to 50% relapse (48.0 vs. 14.2 months), and lower 12-month relapse risk (19.5 vs. 44.8%) (all p < 0.001). It literally says that antidepressants work. > The common belief that these drugs are effective treatments (esp. in the US)… They diverge from placebo and are effective treatments. It’s not a US thing at all. I don’t know why you think it’s limited to the United States, but then again the rest of your post is full of misinformation. Please stop parroting this anti-psychiatry nonsense and trying to use studies that say the opposite of the misinformation you’re trying to spread.
