The media excitement over the antidepressant meta-analysis occurred because the psychiatric consensus — that the drugs work moderately well — is not the message they’d heard.

My impression was that everyone except Kirsch and a handful of his followers would overestimate antidepressant efficacy if asked. Do you think the opposite?

Also worth noting, all psychoactive drugs affect other functions of the brain as well. (Entropy says probably for the worse.)
A small positive outcome on what is being measured (in this case the
Hamilton Rating Scale?) does not necessarily equate a net positive outcome overall.

Great follow up article! My problem with anti-depressants is that depression, to me, is a very effective canary in the coal mine. Using antidepressants too often just kills the canary, but they do help sometimes.
