Antidepressant Medicines
I found it very interesting that the article "Mental Health Year in Review: 2008" talked about the ineffectiveness of antidepressant drugs. By giving facts about such things like how the FDA approved a drug that had a lack of efficacy data, It really opened my eyes to the effectiveness of drugs. Even many times, when a drug has negetive effects, it is covered up by the company as they attempt to show only the positive outcomes. This in turn leads to the fact that "a drug's ineffectivness rarely see the light of day." People only get to see what good things the drug does for them in the end. This brings up the question of how much we should actually trust in a company's drugs, no matter how good the drug is said to work.

i just read this article!
i can't belive that they would try to cover it up when its ineffective
I completely agree with the statement that companies try to cover up the negative effects of drugs. Doctors are overperscribing medicine these days.
a lot of drugs nowadays do not reveal all of the side effects that could happen if consumed. we all just have to be careful. good blog :)
That's so immoral =(
they're risking their customers lives! hopefully something will be done about this!
great article!
I agree with this 100%. Nice post they need to reveal side effects
that's why it's better to stay Drug-Free! haha.
eh. I don't like taking drugs. even though they're supposed to help, there's always negative side effects somewhere.
even with it being ineffective I think it may help for someone to just think they are on meds for their disease.
