Why do psychiatrists say that antidepressants are very effective, when in reality most of the users are cured of their depression by placebo effect? What about the rest of us who don't respond? We just get screwed over? I guess so.

james here....

No one has been cured by a placebo. The studies with a placebo just last 1-2 months (generally) and I suspect if you were to follow the subjects
longer the placebo effect would not last and the depression would return.
