One problem I have with drug companies is that they don’t make all their data public Picture Quote #1

Antidepressants can have troubling side effects and are addictive for some people Picture Quote #1

Depression is not caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain, and it is not cured by medication. Depression may not even be an illness at all.

Psychotherapy works, and some types of therapy have been shown to be much more effective than antidepressants over the long run Picture Quote #1

Depression comes back over time in about 90 percent of people on antidepressants. Studies show that relapses are far less common when people are treated with psychotherapy Picture Quote #1
