> Cheerlead the study all you want, but the reality is that depression, BP, OCD, etc., are extraordinarily difficult illnesses to treat. A success rate even approaching 50% for depression should, in my humble opinion, be applauded, not criticized.
Agreed.
> There is certainly room for valid criticism, but given the importance of these meds for so many people, it should be directed at specific ineffective drugs or treatment programs.
Agreed.
> Mark my words, this study will be misused and abused by the "it's all in your mind" and the "just suck it up and get on with life" crowd.
