Antidepressants have drawbacks, but what matters is that the benefits outweigh the cost. That is something that doctors discuss with their patients when considering such a treatment.

whether the benefits outweigh the cost, and that is something doctors should discuss objectively with their patients when considering such a treatment.
These substances are yet another instance in the history of psychopharmacology where the touted benefits have been exaggerated and the harmful side effects denied. They have their place, but in the bodies of a sizable fraction of the current patients is not it.
