> Scott I know I'm not the sharpest cookie but are you saying that if it's psychological more than biological that placebos has the same success or non success rate? Love Jan
It is my belief that the more severe cases of depression as determined by rating scales designed to diagnose MDD are more likely to respond to antidepressants than milder cases that do not qualify for a diagnosis of MDD. I think the former has a greater biological component, and is more likely to respond to a biological intervention. For people with a psychological depression, antidepressants might be no better than placebo.
