Most only means greater than 50%. That's what I was basing it on. I was basing it on every clinical trial I ever read that the drug companies use to brag about their meds. So if the drug co.'s thing 30% (rather than most) is something to brag about, why should I make it up?
Obviously, most people don't get remission from SSRIs on their social anxiety, and I'm getting that DIRECTLY from the most highly acclaimed psychopharmacology department in the country-- MGH/Boston.
Here's the article:

It's not even a generalization anyway, so how could it be an over-generalization?
