The Depressing News About Antidepressants
Newsweek magazine recently published an issue with the above statement on the cover (that's also a link to the story). The article basically says that antidepressant medications are no better than sugar pills. It was also mentioned in a feature story on NPR.
Way to go, Newsweek. As if people that genuinely need these medications don't feel self-conscious enough, you went ahead and poured some rock salt in that gaping wound.
It doesn't matter that the article goes slightly more in-depth about the pros and cons of the pills. The damage is done.
Luckily I didn't see that Newsweek, so I still feel great about the meds I take. And I tell everyone.
