Well, I had a doctor (at the psychiatric unit in a Hospital in Waterloo Ontario Canada) say that the majority of the effect of these drugs is the placebo effect. Actually, she didn't volenteer the information, but we got to discussing them and she admitted I was right.
Anyhow, the point being, is that I am sure there are a number of doctors who think the drug effect is mainly placebo. They probably don't care though as long as they feel they can help the patient in some way.
So I am saying that I think the doctors probably know more about the treatments than we do. Just like how one of my best friend's fathers (a doctor who administered ECT) refused to allow his son to have ECT !!!
