Where do anti-depressants come in?


Since many of the most popular anti-depressants don't actually do anything, I guess TV has to play a role as well.

Maybe we need more gin carts.

I of course have only read the mainstream summary of the study, but I think the study must say that anti-depressants usually don't cure depression. But I can assure you that messing with serotonin reuptake makes people happier.


One might assume my previous post was made in jest, based on the flippant closing comment. But without a smiley, who can tell? ;-)
