Seems like it would be hard to determine, but also, its against the interests of the drug companies that are selling the drugs. In addition, if it was publicly funded, how would we 'deal' with the conclusions?

I'm just pointing out that this is basically a comfortable way of looking at depression. I WANT to believe that most people on anti-depressants are just going through some shit rather than having something that needs medication for treatment. I WANT that, but I have no actual reason to believe it.

Sounds like you don't have any real evidence either.

Do you have any evidence to the contrary?
