Precisely.I 've read some of his sweeping hitrionics, and anyone who would seriously advocate a non-med regimen in a case of major depression can hardly complain of being taken less than seriously.Who would argue that untreated depression and its attendant destructive neurological effects are organic in nature (or result in organic changes)that require chemical intervention ?(without denigrating complimentary treatments here;psychotherapy etc., which are highly beneficial).So long term ssri treatment causes unknown brain changes which cannot be foretold?
Maybe so, but at least I'll be around to discuss those changes (positive or otherwise), which I wouldn't have been had it not been for antidepressant intervention.
I'll stick with my (modest) Prozac for now, and issue a thumbs down to the 'Anti-Bob' too....
