You are commenting on the article that says that it is BS. The most upvoted comment on the article at the moment says "it [the ineffectiveness] is old news hardly worth mentioning"
- SkyPuncher 4y agoNo, the article does not say this is BS. The article is about a specific theory on anti-depressants. Not about their ineffectiveness as a whole. > Antidepressants are an effective, NICE recommended treatment for depression This fact remains. It's pretty well known in medicine that we don't really know why anti-depressants work, but they do. Different people react differently to different versions. This article is simply stating that the original "simple" theory of "low serotonin" is not sufficient to explain depression.
- d0mine 4y agoLast time I've looked into it in any detail, there were tendency for any effectiveness to vanish in repeated studies (indistinguishable from placebo).
