We expect psychiatric medications are rigorously tested to show significant clinical benefit in mood disorders. The government agencies that approve these drugs for clinical use require robust clinical evidence. Right? Wrong! Antidepressants are one of the most widely prescribed drugs in medicine. This month we look at the clinical efficacy and the approval process for antidepressants. There is clearly something very wrong.

Psychiatric drugs are one of the most prescribed medications by the medical profession. You would think that there would be more awareness of what they actually do. What is interesting is that reporting in the media is relatively absent in regard to some of the adverse effects or even the effectiveness of these medications. Over the years research has been published evaluating the side effects, as well as the effectiveness of these drugs. It is interesting to speculate as to why there is this lack of reporting in mainstream media. Some recent medical studies looking at the long-term safety of antidepressants is worrying. More worrying is the drug research data on which the effectiveness of antidepressants is based on.
