No not at all. Also I happen to agree that medications can be very helpful.

But you have invested a fair amount of time in critiqueing this particular study. It just seems like you've taken a side pretty passionately.

I wish they had been for me, but my negative experiences are anecdotal.

Indicating why a political treatise masquerading as science is false can require some effort.

Too right. The traditionalist right-wing tabloid press over here (the UK) has an agenda to discredit modern AD's which just seems like sheer malevolence.

Or perhaps they think that treating a mental illness is somehow "un-British". "Stiff upper lip" and all that ****. After all, they wouldn't try to discredit chemotherapy or insulin. (Mind you, they have printed mounds of unexpurgated, unscientific crap trying to link autism to the MMR vaccine, which has directly caused record levels of measles cases.)

Why don't they just **** off and let us take our meds in peace?

They work a bit but they don't work very well.

And if they work well they will likely be banned.

It's also just occurred to me that perhaps some unsavoury hacks highlight these scientifically-bankrupt studies because they think they're being pioneering in exposing some "big lie" and revealing the "truth" about particular treatments.

That would explain why the MMR/autism nonsense still has legs in the UK years after the original research was debunked. In a journalist's mind, it's far more appealing to portray a useful and innocuous medical intervention as scary and sinister than it is to reflect actual science.

OK, I think somewhere I missed the point tremendously. I thought we were just talking about whether or not it was good science.

Why do you think this is a political treatise? Is it because the socialized medical system in Britain (and possibly soon the US) wouldn't have to pay for these drugs if they were discredited?

No wonder you're passionate if politics are involved :)

They've been almost entirely effective and tolerable for me on a number of occasions, and anecdotal evidence would suggest for many other people too. I don't think research reflects exactly how successful meds can be because of candidate selection issues outlined earlier in this thread.

Still, I appreciate that we probably all have subtly different underlying causes for our depression, so SSRI's will be useless for some.

Yes. I contend that there is nothing in mind that does not have a biologic concomitant.

It was not good science. That was the thrust of each of my arguments. I concluded the paper was shaped to a pre-existing viewpoint, rather than reaching conclusions derivative of the underlying science. Thus, I concluded that the article was political, as it was unscientific, in my considered opinion.

I've read many papers authored by Kirsch, and they all have a similar slant when discussing antidepressants.

His books deal with hypnosis and suggestibility. If only he would stick to what he knows best, rather than writing deceptively suggestive material to advance false premises.

I've read many of the original Phase III research studies (the raw data, hundreds of pages, not the published blurb) done by Glaxo for Paxil, and others for Effexor, and Prozac. A lot of that work was simply poorly done, conducted over 20 years ago, in the infancy of antidepressant clinical trials. To force the inclusion of poorly conducted studies in this meta-analysis confounds improper methodology with poor drug efficacy. Yet he forces inclusion of that data. Nonetheless, Kirsch himself found a highly significant benefit of antidepressants over placebo (p < .001), and his initial difference scores well exceeded the threshold for clinical significance of 0.50 (Table 2), but he spent many paragraphs finding a way to dismiss those findings by applying statistical methods that are simply inappropriate, and quoting statistics in the paper that are not found in his tables. His own methodology was fatally flawed, and even a simple viewing of his own charts falsifies the statistics he derived.

Honestly, had his science been sound, I've have supported his conclusions. I am pro-science, but I will independently form conclusions of just what that is. I am not pro-med, either. If the evidence is pro-med, then that is what I will report.

Pathological?

The first question was the more important of the two that I asked.

1. What is depression? How do you know it when you see it? What are YOUR criteria for identifying depression?

Regarding #1 I'd say the best criteria for diagnosing depression is just asking a person "Are you depressed?" Seriously. I mean you can go further and say do you feel hopeless, do you feel suicidal, but it all starts with "Are you depressed?"

And Regarding #2

Yes, I would say that most people if they were being truthful in answer to #1 would show brain differences.

I don't think it is prudent to ask the patient to provide their own diagnosis. When a person says to their doctor, "I feel weak", the doctor would be remiss in prescribing weight lifting as a remedy without investigating any further.

You still have not answered my question.

1. What is depression? How do you know it when you see it? What are YOUR criteria for identifying depression?

It is my contention that the state of the art of selecting patients suffering from major depressive disorder for clinical investigations of antidepressants is not much more sophisticated than the diagnostic method that you have suggested. You have just proved my point.

Well of course you ask some follow up questions. But my point is that the most sophisticated differential diagnosis is probably no better than asking someone how they are doing. If you think otherwise you've got a lot more faith in psychiatry than I do.

All the falderol of so called modern psychiatric diagnosis is just a bunch of guys who really don't know anything trying to sound like they do.

Again I go back to my statement: All phenomenon of mind have a bological concomitant, therefore all depression is biological.


But in the end what if you do manage to cobble together a study with participants that comprise a particular genotype. Some subtype of depression with a clear genetic etiology what have you proved? That's like studying albinos in an investigation of skin cancer treatments. You'll be able cure almost nobody 100% of the time.

We all know that the mind is a manifestation of the brain. This is not a point of contention. However, you still have not addressed the issue of pathology.

Only the same two - over and over.

Again, you have very eloquently proved my point. Thanks.

Perhaps not.

I have more faith in the lengthy psychometric examinations more often employed by psychologists than I do in the primitive 17 question rating scales employed by psychiatric clinical investigators.

> All the falderol of so called modern psychiatric diagnosis is just a bunch of guys who really don't know anything trying to sound like they do.

Thanks again.

> Again I go back to my statement: All phenomenon of mind have a bological concomitant, therefore all depression is biological.

As I have so accurately said before, "The brain determines the mind as the mind sculpts the brain." You are not saying anything new here. However, you still avoid the concept of pathology. Depressed mood is perfectly healthy when it is not a symptom of a biological pathology. It is integral to our experiences in an environment containing psychosocial stresses. It can be both protective and instructive.

> But in the end what if you do manage to cobble together a study with participants that comprise a particular genotype.

I believe you presume more understanding of affective disorders than what currently exists in the field of neuroscience. There are some associations between certain alleles and major depressive disorder (MDD), but we are looking at a multi-gene disorder that is influenced by epigenetic variables. The phenomenology of affective disorders is not as simple as you depict here.

I should like to modify my statement here. There are many psychological pathologies that can produce chronic depression. This is not healthy. These are probably best treated psychologically, although antidepressants might still have utility in these cases.

Of course, biological processes are amenable to measurement. Pathological or not. And since all depression is a pathology that is a phenomenon of mind which manifests biologically it too can be measured. I suspect some people with longer term untreated depression would show anatomic changes whereas in others the differences would only be visible as fMRI or PET hotspots and cold spots.

I also suspect as the technology improves more will be learned about the differences between normal and depressed brain functioning. And if we look closely enough I'll bet we'll even be able to track in real time the changes in the brain as a person has a "hopeless thought" versus a "hopeful though". I don't think we're there yet.

It is well known that there is an interaction between the environment and the genetic code, feedback loops that control gene expression. For example the transcription of the gene which codes for lactase being turned on and off by the presence of lactose. I suspect there are many feedback loops at play in depression involving stress hormones and gene expression. Many things we do not understand quite yet but either can be measured or will lend themselves to measurement as the technology improves.

Perhaps it will even be possible to identify depressive subtypes. I suspect very strongly though that it won't break down into neat catgories like Major Depression, Dythymia, and Depressive personality disorder.

Nevertheless, I think all that will be very educational. But the first step is always the patient. "How you doing? How are you feeling? Are you depressed. Do you feel hopeless, do you want to die?" I think this is probably about the best we've got, and probably just as good an indicator that something is awry as anything else.

What does it really matter if you give a really detailed psychometric intrument to people. Lets say you give them the MMPI, which I think is the most researched psychometric intrument on the planet. And you look at the Depression and Mania subscales. And a person comes out with an 80 T score on the former and a 20 T score on the latter. That's three standard deviations from the mean on both. That would be highly indicative of depression.

What have you proved? Essentially you have shown that this person has a similar profile as other people who had been somehow magically determined to be truly depressed whose answers were therefore suitable for to be used in the construction of the MMPI subscales. Thus the "empirical basis" of the MMPI. Fine, essentially you've shown that people who fall into some category called "Depression" give similar answers on a test. There is nothing in this that would suggest people who match this profile have a more "biologically based" illness. And that's the state of the art, the most widely researched psychometric intrument on the planet with over 500 questions is basically telling you that birds of a feather flock together. And maybe some information like atypical features, or psychotic. But again there is nothing here that would inform a selection criteria for a clinical study vis a vis "biologically based" depression (which it all is anyway).

So why not just ask "How are you doing?"

> Of course, biological processes are amenable to measurement. Pathological or not.

So... When does a depression become pathological?

> And since all depression is a pathology

Here, I disagree with you. You believe that depression is an answer to a single question. I believe it is a pathological phenomenon with specific symptom clusters.

Let us start at the beginning, again.

This time, I will state that the majority of clinical investigations of antidepressants are established to study major depressive disorder (MDD) - a phenomenon that is defined in the study and practice of medicine and using a set of observations of symptom clusters to aid in diagnoses. If it is the criterion that one be suffering from MDD to enter a study, why do you continue to see homogeneity when it is heterogeneity that confounds the selection process in the first place?

If you were responsible for the inclusion and exclusion of subjects in a study of MDD specifically, how would you go about it?

> I suspect some people with longer term untreated depression would show anatomic changes whereas

Even if they are treated.

> in others the differences would only be visible as fMRI or PET hotspots and cold spots.

Out of curiosity, do you feel that this is a trait or state specific finding?

> I also suspect as the technology improves more will be learned about the differences between normal and depressed brain functioning.

I am afraid that the technology has already determined that there are differences between people with MDD versus those without it. Among those without it are people who are depressed for one reason or another, but do not qualify as having this biological disorder.


> And if we look closely enough I'll bet we'll even be able to track in real time the changes in the brain as a person has a "hopeless thought" versus a "hopeful though". I don't think we're there yet.

Already been done. Even the presentation of different facial expressions produces measurable differences on PET and SPECT imaging studies. Not only that, but, most importantly, there is a difference between MDD versus non-MDD responses to the same stimuli.

> It is well known that there is an interaction between the environment and the genetic code

Yes, it is well known, along with much else that you have mentioned subsequently, so why bring it up when we are talking about the criteria and selection process for clinical investigations involving affective disorders?

Yes. This inventory is so complete, that it can even detect when someone is feigning depression.

I'm doing fine. I'm not in remission from bipolar depression, nonetheless, this is my answer to the question if you were to ask me right now. It isn't such a bad day for me today.

By the way, how are YOU doing?

Imaging phenotypes of major depressive disorder: genetic correlates.
Savitz JB, Drevets WC.

Mood and Anxiety Disorders Program, NIH/NIMH, B15K, North Drive, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA.

Imaging techniques are a potentially powerful method of identifying phenotypes that are associated with, or are indicative of, a vulnerability to developing major depressive disorder (MDD). Here we identify seven promising MDD-associated traits identified by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or positron emission tomography (PET). We evaluate whether these traits are state-independent, heritable endophenotypes, or state-dependent phenotypes that may be useful markers of treatment efficacy. In MDD, increased activity of the amygdala in response to negative stimuli appears to be a mood-congruent phenomenon, and is likely moderated by the 5-HT transporter gene (SLC6A4) promoter polymorphism (5-HTTLPR). Hippocampal volume loss is characteristic of elderly or chronically-ill samples and may be impacted by the val66met brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene variant and the 5-HTTLPR SLC6A4 polymorphism. White matter pathology is salient in elderly MDD cohorts but is associated with cerebrovascular disease, and is unlikely to be a useful marker of a latent MDD diathesis. Increased blood flow or metabolism of the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (sgACC), together with gray matter volume loss in this region, is a well-replicated finding in MDD. An attenuation of the usual pattern of fronto-limbic connectivity, particularly a decreased temporal correlation in amygdala-anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) activity, is another MDD-associated trait. Concerning neuroreceptor PET imaging, decreased 5-HT(1A) binding potential in the raphe, medial temporal lobe, and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) has been strongly associated with MDD, and may be impacted by a functional single nucleotide polymorphism in the promoter region of the 5-HT(1A) gene (HTR1A: -1019 C/G; rs6295). Potentially indicative of inter-study variation in MDD etiology or mood state, both increased and decreased binding potential of the 5-HT transporter has been reported. Challenges facing the field include the problem of phenotypic and etiological heterogeneity, technological limitations, the confounding effects of medication, and non-disease related inter-individual variation in brain morphology and function. Further advances are likely as epigenetic, copy-number variant, gene-gene interaction, and genome-wide association (GWA) approaches are brought to bear on imaging data.

I have come across a few study of studies. This article points to studies conducted by the drug companies themselves--studies that showed ADs were not much more effective than placebos (and leaving the political Kirsch guy out of it).

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/17/health/17depress.html?_r=1

The makers of antidepressants like Prozac and Paxil never published the results of about a third of the drug trials that they conducted to win government approval, misleading doctors and consumers about the drugs true effectiveness, a new analysis has found.

In published trials, about 60 percent of people taking the drugs report significant relief from depression, compared with roughly 40 percent of those on placebo pills. But when the less positive, unpublished trials are included, the advantage shrinks: the drugs outperform placebos, but by a modest margin, concludes the new report, which appears Thursday in The New England Journal of Medicine.

Previous research had found a similar bias toward reporting positive results for a variety of medications; and many researchers have questioned the reported effectiveness of antidepressants. But the new analysis, reviewing data from 74 trials involving 12 drugs, is the most thorough to date. And it documents a large difference: while 94 percent of the positive studies found their way into print, just 14 percent of those with disappointing or uncertain results did....
