"people take antidepressants because they have been led to believe their depression has a biochemical cause, but this new research suggests this belief is not grounded in evidence." thehill.com/changing-america… Please do see an informed, aware MD if you are on SSRIs.

Psychiatric diseases are some of the diseases where the cause of the disease was inferred from the effect of the medication. For many people this medication was life saving. Use with the watering can is grossly negligent.

I'm not sure what you mean by use with the watering can? Are you suggesting that the study is grossly negligent or the overuse is grossly negligent or my post was grossly negligent or meant anything untoward about depression or SSRIs. If I were to do so it would be quite clear.

Oh, my English is not good enough and I tried to translate a German idiom. I meant that it is very dangerous when doctors prescribe this kind of medicine carelessly.

No worries! :-). I strongly agree! Definite use cases. Just usually not long-term or at High doses. A person in a psychotic break could be medicated equally as well with an opiate as any antipsychotic. Psych meds are the puppy uppers and doggie downers of pharmaceuticals LOL

Not all depression is the same. For some people, a good psychotherapy is much better than any medication. While others become suicidal without medication.
