I guess when you're suffering, even a moderate improvement is worthwhile, and, it might be that extra moderate improvement, added to that produced by an SSRI or bonzo or whatever, that turns life from a burden to a joy.

I think we need to remember that drugs arnt risk free - taking 2 Advil for a headache has risks associated with it, but when you have a splitting headache, the risks are usualy considered worth taking for the releif it gives, and the same principal applies here, atleast thats how I see it.

That said, I think a lot of drugs given to dementia patients arnt for the benifit of the patient, but to make them easier for the staff of the care facility to manage, which isnt good.
