It just depends who you talk to. The efficacy of SSRI's could be seen as exaggerated too. In terms of mild-moderate depression, I think there is enough evidence to say that SJW can be effective.
For severe depression, I think that:
a) there is a lack of data
b) there is a hesitancy to recomend anything that is OTC as severely depressed individuals should be under a doctors care.
