Antidepressants are like interperative art. If you try really really hard, you can see the picture you want to see. But there is no mistake about it when somebody sees a photograph.There have been good antidepressants.
Hundreds of componds have probably come and gone by the wayside, thrown in the trash because they just happen to be universal mood brigheners.
A side effect of healing the sick just might happen to be making a normal person feel better.
Now why on earth was amineptine taken off the market? It was a very effective antidepressant but it had a small abuse potential.
So let me get this straight. We can drug kids up with addictive ADHD drugs, but when an effective antidepressant comes along with a small potential for abuse it gets taken off the market?
Why are ADHD drugs allowed to posess potential for addiction but antidepressants must not?
