I agree with you. If soothing talk and kindness could relyably cure depression, then I'm sure a patient could get well from the comfort of their own home. They go to the doctor to get treatment for a debilitaing disease. Unfortunately depression is not as clear cut as treating other diseases.

It is wrong (IMHO) to conclude that drug induced suicidiality is somehow due to a flaw in the doctor-patient relationship.
