Isn't that pretty-much the desired effect on chronically depressed people?
Doctor insisted I take those and they didn't improve mood much. They dulled the lows a bit. I don't have regular "good mood highs" so I wouldn't have noticed if it dulled them.
Seems perfectly in line with the "it made a barely statistically-significant difference over placebo" research results. Positive results are so weak compared to placebo, it's a joke, borderline a scam.
And there are side effects.
Daily exercise was much more effective. I still dislike exercise very much, it still hurts every day, but I do it anyway.

Nothing about the study is in any way surprising. It is what most people already assumed.
For me it was exercise, building things myself and finding religion after being agnostic for most of my life.
I very much doubt that claim
I may be wrong but it was just what I assumed and never heard anyone argue against it.
The amount of people using antidpressants suggests that most people don't assume that they don't help.
You have to consider who you argue these things with. I mean you won't find anyone hyping these things here, for example.
