The only FDA-approved antidepressants that deserve that designation are the irreversible MAOIs.
There are other drugs that do this as well, but most people consider them "drugs of abuse".
In Goodman & Gilman's "Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics", they state outright that the response rate of most antidepressants differs from placebo by the barest of margins. What this doctor said to you is reality.
