There was a CBC radio (canadian) show about this article today. Unfortunately all they did was bring in psychiatrist to push the whole safe/effective deal.
The problem is that the 'consensus' of the medical community is that depression is still a treatable medical disorder. They want people feeling that it is safe to see a psychiatrist. As such, I think the case for antidepressants gets distorted, because people feel that if antidepressants are shown for what they are, people won't see a psychiatrist, or get help.
I think there should be push to disect psychiatry and antidepressants. Psychiatry should go back to looking for additional ways to help people so that people don't just see psychiatry = SSRIs.
