Antidepressants and the Placebo Effect

Begs the question why these drugs are still on the market. As I wrote on Facebook earlier this morning;

If these drugs were an electrical piece of equipment which only worked in 40% of households, do you think they would still be on the market? Moreover, that equipment was faulty and dangerous. That's the power of promotion and spinning. It's basically how pharma get drugs onto the market, show the regulator the good studies 40% but hide the negative studies, 60% - although the figure is even greater in clinical trials.


Now watch the video that was aired on the US flagship show 60 Minutes last night.
