"Some unlucky people" turns out to be 85% of people with depression. What that suggests to me is that depression is a syndrome with multiple causes, and typical antidepressant drugs treat one of them.

    Seems to only mention SSRI specifically, not about antidepressants in general

    Also this: "suggested that the active ingredients in 10 of the most popularly prescribed antidepressant medications made a meaningful difference in only 15 percent of the patients who took them, almost always in those patients suffering from the most severe depression"

    So yeah... that's me lmfao...
