But did the people that had such and such have their response as a result of taking the pills? And did the response have a permanant effect? Could it not be that if millions of people took the pills that there could be some that had such and such for other reasons than the pill being effective? They may have exercised or had a spontanious event or changed their diet or such and their result was not from the vitamins and herbs but from something else. Maybe just something that could run its course!

The issue here IMHO is of great importance to the members of this community and I consider (redacted by respondent) when it comes to the mental health of one of the members.
I ask for you to look at the following video and then ask yourself if linkadge (redacted by respondent) as to if what he/she posted is or is not going beyond the bounds of truth.
The issue here could be as to what {work} could mean in relation to the marketing of antidepressants.
Now if something {works}, but then something else happens that is worse than what the work does, could not the worser thing negate the work?
In simpleistic terms, let's suppose a pill was promoted by the manufacturer to help women in anxiety, and it did, but those that took the drug had their children born deformed. Now in that case the drug{worked} but a worser thing happened, so did te drug really work in your opinion?
In the FDA warning, there are psychiatric drugs that could induce a mind-alterd state to cause the one taking the drug to want to kill themselves. If the drug gave the depressed person some innitial relief, but then the person taking the drug killed themselves, did the drug {work}?
Now what if the drug is addictive and it gave some innital relief to the taker of the drug. Then the person finds themselves in a horrific withdrawal or even has withdrawal symptoms while taking the drug. Does this mean that the drug{worked} if they have to go through withdrawal and might even kill themselves durring that time while they are trying to find {a way out]? What does {worked} mean here?
The question is adressed in this video and I would like for you to view it and then make your own determination as to if or of not linkadge is doing a good work or not for the members of this forum and for humanity itself.
Lou
