ANTI-DEPRESSANTS CALLED INTO QUESTION
New generation anti-depressants have little clinical benefit for the majority of patients, according to a British team of researchers.
They are the range of anti-depression drugs known as selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors or SSRI's.
The researchers have reviewed a series of studies, both published and unpublished, looking at four of the drugs and have concluded that they do not produce clinically significant improvements, except in the most severely depressed patients.
The researchers also say that although patients get better when they take anti-depressants, they also get better when they take a placebo.
