When anti-depressants undergo clinical trials, they're only required to show statistically significant short-term improvement over a placebo drug. What isn't reported is that people given the placebo improve nearly as much with far fewer side effects. Research is also showing that ~85% of people with major depression who take no medication get over it within a year and rarely relapse, whereas those who take anti-depressants are likely to remain on them long-term or to relapse when taken off of them. I'm not saying to never take an anti-depressant--obviously there are many people whose lives were saved by them. But they are massively over-prescribed while their risks are downplayed, and they only mask symptoms of depression without treating it. Unless you are very seriously depressed to the point of being suicidal, it's probably better to try other strategies first. imagine actually trusting these whack ass non scientifically researched websites --- don't stop faking my conscience ain't afraid of you yet ...
