Depressed?

Depression seems to be the illness of the 21st century and for more than 15 years Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors have been the pill of choice. Yes, the number of prescriptions of these antidepressants (effexor, prozac, seroxat, etc) has increased exponentially. So much so that these drugs being excreted by humans is negatively affecting wildlife. With all the billions of dollars being spent on these drugs has anyone ever asked the question, Do they help? Well, psychologists at the University of Hull have reviewed the results of about 50 clinical trials. Their conclusions? SSRI antidepressants do not really seem to provide a benefit to most people as compared to placebos. Sure, there's a little evidence that they help to some extent the most severely depressed, but the large majority of the millions of prescriptions really are doing nothing but causing gender confusion among the fish and frogs.
