  Perhaps I could have been more precise: the article answers the title and big question "So do antidepressants work?" with "Research suggests antidepressants work only a bit better than placebos", then bury the actual detail you outlined later. That's at least misleading if not downright a lie. "a group of people who experience much better results on antidepressants" is, in my opinion, simply not compatible with "work only a bit better than placebos". If you tell me the later, I'll probably forgo the treatment. If told the former, I'm willing to give it a try to see if it works. (luckily for me, it did)
