I think we are at the point now with SSRI's that we were at with benzodiazepines in the 70's - doctors prescribe them when they are confronted with an unhappy patient and feel they should do somthing, but dont know what they should do - a placebo that might do some good.
There has always been a need for somthing like this, wether it is the SSRI's now, Valium in the 70's, Dexamyl in the 50's, or iron tonics in the 30's etc.
As someone once said. "the desire to take medicines is what seperates man from the lower animals"
