one fake homeless person at a time.

Wow: the February 8th Newsweek's cover article is a really thorough article about anti-depressants & research showing they test as only slightly more effective than placebos for treating depression.



There is also a half page opposing opinion article, but the doctor who wrote it mentions placebos only once in the rebuttal and doesn't seem to really understand what it means for something to be not much better than a placebo. He lost his sister in the World Trade Center bombing, which certainly seems like a good reason to be depressed if there is one.
