I loked a bit more at Robert Whitakers work
and I know he is trying to sell a book about the subject but even so, there is at least some scientists out there who have made studies showing that ADs could do more bad than good in the long run:http://www.madinamerica.com/madinamerica.com/Depression.html
Try and look at some of the links to the articles.For me personally this could make sense as my uni-polar depression will not go away by it self after 2,5 years of treatment.
How many people who suffered a moderate-major dep episode do you know of that eventually tapered off meds and stayed well?
My psyc keeps saying: When no symptoms in 6 months you can start to consider to tapper off.
But I never reach this, it seems, could be me doing something wrong with my life, stress etc., but I always fall back in some dark holes before I reach this symptom free level. It feels like a fata morgana - it will never happen...
