There are many people who are anti-psychiatry who would probably still benefit immensely from treatment. My worry is that such people will look at this and say: "see look, the psychiatrists got it wrong. I was right to question treatment all along; Anti-depressants don't work." But the message here isn't that SSRIs don't work for depression. It's that depression is a complex illness and can't be reduced to a single chemical deficiency. Anti-depressants mechanism of action is more complex than 'corrects a chemical deficiency.' I hope such people considering treatment know that while theories may change as we learn more: medications still have to be evaluated against real-world results. So the effectiveness of a drug remains the same.
