"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.

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

In the US we major depressive disorder MDD, which is chronic and MDE which is episodic. It lasts a few days or weeks and goes away. Can hit once in a lifetime or many times with Brakes in the pattern. Other conditions of any kind as well as other drugs, prescription, otc, street.

When I was working in psychiatry (before 1996) there was a rule about endogenous pschoses: 1/3 of the affected get it once and never again 1/3 have a periodic course and 1/3 never get never rid of it. The prognosis for depression was much better. But this old information.

This is very common actually across descriptions of which I am aware of around the world in regards to moderate to severe forms of most psychiatric conditions with few exceptions in certain people. The condition can get worse but many go away with age. Use drugs only when needed!
