I think yes. We know antipsychotics can cause permenant side effects ... namely tardive dyskinesa. I wouldn't doubt that antidepressants may also leave some individuals with continuing side effects. They also may result in permenant benefits, like remission from depression ... remember may patients may go on a single course of an antidepressant, taper off and never have the depression return again.

Severe depression definately can cause permenant "side effects" as well. Memory difficulties, concentration problems, fatigue and death (suicide). So, antidepressants may prevent these side effects.

Overall, I think SSRI do much more good than harm. I say keep them around.
