Why anyone would take an article or anything put out by The Guardian, much less promoted by that crap site, seriously makes one wonder about the biases of the people agreeing with it. Most science in the past 20 years has been crushed in peer review. If I remember right, it was around 70% was totally debunked in peer review. Not saying that the scientist is wrong, but I'm skeptical.
Though I will say that, most people being treated with SSRIs are not likely suffering from clinical depression. Both psychology and pharmacology have been pushed to extremes and have been shown to have lost allot of their respectability, trustworthiness, and ethics due to political, financial, and social pressures. Pharmaceutical companies have been pushing drugs on the population for awhile now. That doctors and these companies work hand in hand for profit makes all suspect.
As for the people claiming clinical depression doesn't exist, well, they're idiots. I've had depression since six. I've been institutionalized and met many others that suffer from it and can barely function. It's as real as the Sun and Earth.
