"for *most* people the drugs work"
I don't think this is true. Perhaps, for most of these people the drugs are placebo's, and work in that manner. Some peole's depression is very situational, and improves over time by itself. I think people like the idea of having something to attibute their improvement to, just like rabit's feet, q-wray bracelets etc. It gives them a sence of controll. So when things naturally get better, they feel control over the situation by attributing it to the antidepressant.I mean I know that I start to wonder why the drug companies need to work so hard to try and prove their drug is better than the placebo.
