The wrong message about depression

Judith Warner notes that a recent story about how anti-depressants are little better than placebos for treating mild, or even some moderate, depressions, misses so much f the story about how we badly treat depression in our country.

That said, she failed to note studies in which MRIs show that placebos and SSRIs affect different parts of the brain, and SSRIs last longer in their effects.
