Hmmm.

Not a well researched article to be honest.

I went and read the articles the author was referring to and the articles are being completly misquoted.

Reason 1 refers to an article that is meant to have said
"A study in the Journal of the American Medical Association says that SSRI's like Paxil and Prozac are no more effective in treating depression than a placebo pill. That means they are 33 per cent effective, which is the percent of patients who will respond well to a sugar pill. The article goes on to say that although SSRI's are effective to some degree in treating severe depression they don't have any effect on the routine type of depressions they are most often used to treat. The take-home message is--don't take SSRI's if you have normal, mild, or routine depression. It's a waste of money, and the drugs have serious side-effects including loss of sexual drive"
I can't find this message in the article at all...the article refers to SSRI's being more effective on major depression than mild depression- which is correct...thats what the SSRI's are used for.

Anyway- I didn't read on because its obviously not creditable information.
