The effectiveness of a dozen popular antidepressants has been exaggerated by selective publication of favorable results, according to a review of unpublished data submitted to the Food and Drug Administration.Did you really expect it to be any other way? Do you think you live in fantasy land, where corporations aren't worried about profits?
As a result, doctors and patients are getting a distorted view of how well blockbuster antidepressants like Wyeth's Effexor and Pfizer Inc.'s Zoloft really work, researchers asserted in this week's New England Journal of Medicine.
I wonder what percentage of the American populace takes (legal) mood-altering drugs every day.
