There are also doctors who believe that the drugs work no better than placebo, and that most people recover due to time.

The head doctor, Dr. Powers, I saw at Grand River Hospital, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, told me that most of the drug effect is placebo.

I don't know if 85% of patients get better as a result of medications. Sometimes patients can try combinations of medications for years. Depression too often gets better on its own. Sometiems people like to attribute their recovery to a drug, but it may not be an appropriate association.

I don't think there is any concrete data to suggest that 85% of depression sufferers get better with meds and combinations.
