I don't think anyone said anything about any of the studies being flawed. I, for one, was only mentioning exclusionary criteria, which for these studies is typically quite strict, thus keeping out extremely ill or suicidal people. Nobody wants a catastrophe in their study. I think spontaneous remission is much less likely in severe cases. Additionally, placebo effects wear off in the long term (which we never see since most studies are 6 to 8 weeks); drug effects tend to last longer.

If a sugar pill will cure me, then bring it on. Why don't they just start secretly switching out real meds for sugar pills. Maybe nobody will know the difference, right?

Yeah... right.
