From what I have seen within the offices of the many doctors I have seen, they must privately be scratching their heads in puzzlement wondering why they don't get the same results the clinical trials got.

Of course, taking a look at the details of clinical studies, the answers are obvious....they didn't get very good results.

I think there is a place somewhere between general medicine and psychiatry where there is an empty void. The place where MDs don't know the answers, aren't trained to be detectives, so completely bypass that aspect and shuttle the patient off to a different field entirely....psychiatry. Within that void that is being ignored are the more common causes of depression. They remain untreated. Many of them do not respond well to psych meds, primarily because those meds are just so far off target from the real problem, or respond negatively to psych meds.

I believe psych meds have their place. But to cure a disease, not. In my opinion, calling depression a disease is a fundamental mistake similar to a judge sentencing an innocent prisoner to a life of solitary confinement without parole. It isn't a disease. It is a symptom. The disease was not even casually investigated, except maybe for a thyroid test at most.

IMO
