I also think with this study...
>a US study suggests.
This is exactly what the drug companies in the US want as this can then be used to target a wider area of business and increase drug sales without doubts that could in effect make the drug sales decline.
From what I've read on this board drug presciption cost are $ big business in the US - and big business needs as many unique selling points as possible to increase the sales of a product...
>They say unnecessary concerns over the drugs may mean people with depression are not taking drugs which could benefit them.
Suicide (especially in the young) is a huge concern. If people decline to take the drugs because of this risk, then the drug compnay will not benefit from them.
The thing is as well (i'm no expert) but if you break down these studies, sometimes you can find out there flawed....I'm not suggesting this one is, but you can find possibly a study and real life accounts on this board even that will suggest otherwise.
Its like, I could bring up a study now of a drug from pubmed and say look - it proves itself as an antidepressant...but then if you look at the study in deatil, you could then find that it was funded by the drug company etc and certain other aspects which then make the study not so much as benefit for the patient, but for the actual company..
Didnt Mac donalds say their food was healthy and pretty risk free - then came along supersize me or whatever ther film was called, then they started coming out with the 'healthy' products like carrot sticks etc..
