The study clearly shows increased incidence of withdrawal symptoms. But, in a semantic game, the symptoms aren't defined as "antidepressant discontinuation".
Freddie got tricked.
The abstract explains, "Individuals who discontinued antidepressants experienced more symptoms compared to those discontinuing placebo or continuing an antidepressant, but the mean number of symptoms was below the cutoff for clinically important discontinuation syndrome."
