"We're prescribing more antidepressants, but there's no evidence they make people less depressed. We're not stopping or reducing suicides, and nor are people increasingly getting back to work."</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg18725096.000"><P>In the <I>British Medical Journal</I> (vol 331, p 155), Moncrieff and Irving Kirsch of the University of Plymouth, UK, reviewed studies looking at the efficacy of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors such as Prozac and Seroxat.
