well, this is very interesting but i do agree with the many good points brought up here. i do not respond to placebos AT ALL, and im still looking for something that will help. if these cases are mild short term depression, i would guess that many would clear up on there own, even if i hadent read this article. (this may support the article in that mild cases of depression do not require antidepressants right away) just another point that was not brought up. these are 96 studies. how many studies have been done in total on antidepressants and placebos? seems to me these may be selective studies trying to prove a point.nevertheless, very interesting to consider, thanks for posting the article.
