If a drug has an 1% chance of 100% effect, it will look pretty weak in those studies.

IMO it's pretty clear that depression is a symptom of many independent issues, so it's really lame that we don't have a more accurate way of diagnosing it.

The goal is to tackle it in every way. The medicines are supposed to be supportive and not the solution. More often than not people treat it as a solution.

Thats why they are eventually tapered and discontinued once you are able to be on your own.
