These are very good points. The problem is that the biggest voice that gets heard is that of the psychiatrists, doctors and drug companies. These parties livelyhood depends on the best portrayal of the medications.
To add to your list you could put: overall lack of efficacy too. The establishment wants people to believe depression is this cut and dry thing. You take a pill, everything is better. You take the drug and it works.
I think the sickest part is when the meds are prescribed so liberally to kids. Kid's brains are changing so rapidly that they often can't detect what a med is doing. Pair that with the lack of efficacy and research I can only ask why.
