In reply to NIMH study...antidepressants work only 30% of time, posted by LostBoyinNCBecksDark on October 23, 2007, at 19:31:54
> The STAR*D study done by NIMH discovered something I already knew for years...the present crop of antidepressants dont work well for most depressives. If you define "working well" as treating clinical depression to FULL REMISSION and not just a 50% improvement, most antidepressants fail in the majority of depressives who try them.
50% improvement is pretty good, especially
when you're in hell at 0%.
