In addition, because of the addictive potential of the drugs, a lot more people are going to *stay* on the medications. People may have fully recovered, but they will never know it because they have to take their medications much longer than they need them.

Withdrawl symptoms are often identical to original depressive symptoms so people just stay on their medications forver, because they just don't know what is well anymore.

So you've got drug companies pushing highly addictive drugs, to people who may not need them, of course the number of people dependant on SSRI's is going to go up.

I personally liked the study that compared Zoloft to exercise. The Zoloft group initially did better, but after a few months, the exercise group was significantly better that the zoloft group.

BUT, what was most interesting was that the exercise alone group was doing better than the Exercise + Zoloft group! This to me was evidence that the drug was actually hinerding recovery.
