What are Levine's "valid points"?
1. There is simply no way that antidepressant medication could possily be effective, and any scientist who establishes postitive correlation in this regard must be corrupt having been bribed by the pharmaceutical industry.
2. NIMH and the FDA - two of the world's most respected medical bodies - employ sloppy research methodology and are in cahoots with the pharmaceutical industry.
3. The tens of millions of people around the world who have benefitted from psychotropic medication are all "mistaken" in thinking they feel better, and have been brainwashed by the evil parmaceutical companies.
4. The hundreds of studies performed on psychatric drugs all around the world over a period of decades should be ignored in light of the Zoloft / SJW study.
5. The hundreds of drug regulators around the world have all been fooled by corrupt pharmaceutical companies who spend billions of dollars on research and development in order to manufacture dud drugs.
6. I quote: "Even the most enthusiastic antidepressant prescribers agree that these drugs can have serious adverse affects". Uh, would that be life-threatening sexual dysfunction? Fatal headaches? Deadly insomnia? Bah! What nonsense.
etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum
Really! I've heard it al before.
