> I say, if you find something that can sustainably help depression, then who cares if it causes mood improvement in normal people, who cares if a deeply depressed person feels slightly euphoric.
I know. It makes me laugh - in an angry, resentful way - when 'euphoria' is labelled as an 'adverse' side effect. So long as a little euphoria doesn't impinge upon normal functioning, what_is_the_problem?
What do the authorities have to fear from people actually feeling *better* than normal (besides the hoary old 'people won't work/consume' chestnut)?
