Antidepressants are more likely to bring remission in mild than in severe depression, it’s just that their superiority to placebo is slighter. Antidepressants are also vastly better than placebo at preventing future depression when their use is continued after remission.
Beware the linked article, which is hopelessly underinformed.
Do you agree that mild and severe depression shouldn’t be lumped together (but disagree with that particular claim)? (Also, do you agree that adolescent and adult depression are vastly different?)
Do you think Neuroskeptic is bad in general? It looks sound to me but I’m nowhere near a professional. If yes, where should I go for my psychiatry research needs? If not, how did he mess up that one article?
Continuing antidepressants after remission is a big cost—crazy meds suck donkey dong.
