The way these researchers gathered their data and interpreted it is so full of flaws an entire book could be written on it.
Also, do you know the purpose of the study? Who was behind it? Why they pursued it? Who funded it and why? No, we don't. Yellow flag.
You'll be hard pressed in the real world to find anyone that agrees with this study. The best source would be to ask patients, which they didn't do. A visit to pbabble would have yielded much more accurate results than what they did.
Sorry, but when it comes to meds like Zyprexa and Abilify, sometimes Ziprasidone or Seroquel or Risperdal, and definitely Amisulpride, the old ones don't even come close to the superior effects on depression these newer ones have.
It's fun to surf and look at studies though. Best to take them with a grain of salt. They never give you enough details in an abstract to fully judge the entire thing. Crucial details are usually left out of those abstracts.
