    That's so interesting. What about all the stuff you read saying SSRIs work no better than placebo? What's up with that?

    It simply isn't true.

    That's reassuring. It's hard to know what to believe

    Most of what is claimed about ADs online is nonsense and this can include claims made in medical journals (there are a lot of competing agendas at play and truth is too often a casualty, especially from the anti AD side).

    One of the problems with ADs is that many of the studies are too short, typically only 4-6 weeks, which can both elevate the number of controls still having a placebo response and reduce those in the med group achieving a positive result. Trials should really be at least 8 weeks, with 12 being ideal, imho, but trials are expensive so that is unlikely to happen.
