Yes, some people actually need antidepressants but we will never know who those people are because the bar is so low for prescribing antidepressants.

1. fill out a short questionnaire with limited options for answers.

2. no further significant clinical evaluation done like bloodwork, scans or testing is performed. Providers are just eyeball low levels of hormones in your brain.

3. not enough time for a provider to come up with a proper treatment in a 15 minute appointment. Providers can't overhaul the system they work in. They have 40 other people to see today.

4. Kickbacks. Wait, that's illegal and never happens.
