I disagree with this. Their assumption seems to be that doctors decide how best to treat the illness, then give patient decision on what side effect profile they want from the various treatments. It isn't the doctors place to decide how to treat. The doctor is there to guide the patient through the process and give the patient control of their medical situation. If a patient wants a drug that is less effective but has certain other benefits, that should be offered as well (or more likely the case, a drug more effective but with higher side effects like a TCA should be offered along side the newer drugs). More rotteness at the core of the medical approach to mental illness.
