If I'm understanding the logic that this article presents... Apparently after Prozac was introduced, depression became a huge phenomenon in the US. It showed up everywhere. This is evidence to suggest that antidepressants caused depression.
Wat?
- josscrowcroft 14y agoI suspect the implication (I've heard a few notions like this) is similar to the way in which reports of alien abductions rose sharply after the Roswell UFO thingy in 1947.
- DanBC 14y agoProzac was the first SSRI. It was introduced with a lot (really, even in the UK there was a lot) of hype. It was described as "A medication to make you feel better than well. It was an outrage that this med was only available to people with a diagnosis, and we should be campaigning to change the laws about prescription meds to make it available to everyone." (Edited to make quote clear.)
- josscrowcroft 14y ago"we should be campaigning to change the laws about prescription meds to make it available to everyone" Did you read the article about tap water?
- DanBC 14y agoYes. I'm just telling you what the attitude of some members of the public was when Prozac was introduced. (I'll edit to put it in quotes.)
- josscrowcroft 14y agoAh, gotcha. My mistake.
