I think we are going no to look back in this and laugh and cry at how big of a mistake SSRIs were.. I think the body will find homeostasis. Artificially changing serotonin levels may have an effect for a while - but with continued administration the body will just create less naturally and become dependent on the drug for the remaining amount. So then after a while - everything went back to normal and in effect the only clinical result was a placebo effect, like the research suggests it’s efficacy is comparable to. If there is some effect it is probably short term, which as the article points out, drug companies only like to study the short term effects (which still have debatable efficacy compared to placebo) And what would this mean for the industry. They spent decades giving us the equivalent of sugar pills making billions of dollars. While we have already been in health care crisis.
