I would accept factual evidence if it could be found. There is factual evidence that SSRIs help anxiety and depression. This is not a conspiracy. The medications may be too expensive, have side effects but they do work for some people or they would not take them.

Quote:

The researchers said that the drug was more effective than a placebo in severely depressed patients but that this was because of a decreased placebo effect.

This proves nothing about holistic medicine.

I don't take an SSRI for my depression. I take an older drug that costs me $12 a month and it works very well in my case. Whether it is a placebo or not is impossible to prove in my case. I have been severely depressed and medications have helped me a lot.
