> In other words, you would need to use the drugs in combination with therapy to obtain good results.

That's essentially the case with any depression medication.

No. There are plenty of medications that have measurable effects on average. That doesn't mean it's a one-shot solution for everyone's depression. You need to find the right medication, get therapy, sleep well, and exercise if you have major depressive disorder. But to say that medication has no effect on its own is misleading.
