The problem is that most people look at you as if they are sizing you up for a straight jacket if you tell them that anti depressants don't cure depression and can cause permanent brain damage as well as tics and seizures or that they are being poisoned by little pieces of metal in their mouths. After all, they think the ADA would have banned anything harmful. They believe this even though there are so many commercials on TV that say anti depressants don't work 70% of the time and encouraging people to participate in trials of new drugs . Depression lifts spontaneously in a significant percent of people and many are succeptible to the placebo effect, so by admitting antidepressants fail 70% of the time, are'nt thay admitting they are worthless 100% of the time?
