I agree with you. The big thing with the SSRI's was that they were/are thought to be safe, or at least safer than the TCA's. Because of their presumed safety they've been dispersed like dandilion spores.
Many authors site the fact that TCA's were as effective if not more effective than the SSRI's. SSRI's were also popular because they fit hand in glove with the theory that depression was a disease related to low serotonin.
Theres no doubt in my mind that SSRI's did some weird and wonderfull things. But to call that an "antidepressant effect", I don't know.
