key question 2a page 23 of 167: efficacy and effectiveness of sgad for maintaining response or remission? (i.e preventing relapse or reoccurence)
what?! they prevent depression from occurring??? how can they claim this, on what basis do ADs operate as vaccines for conditions they can't even cure. what a ridiculous concept!
do psychopharmaceutials operate completely outside the rules of ordinary medicine?
but the drug companies make loads more money if people think they are preventing a "disease" from occurring by taking "medicine". they do not know what causes depression, as a consequence they cannot cure it nor prevent it from occurring. they can only try and reduce the symptoms of it, like cold medication!
do you take cold medication for the rest of your life just because you may get a cold again??????
some people are depressed all the time, and these people may need to take AD on a long term basis. but the concept of preventative medicine with mental illness is ridiculous!
