No, they were on actual medications, and not involved in studies. When you read books by psychiatrists and psychologists, they aren't pushing drugs but trying to find results. What I've been saying all along is evidence. I'm the one who studied this for 30 years. How long have you? How many people have you lived with, gone with, been related to, or friends with that have gone though this? Those books were written by doctors involved in private practices who prescribed the medicines, monitored the results and saw what did or did not work. You haven't provided anything besides your opinion, likely gained from others opinions. That medicines were prescribed to those thousands of suicidal people who stopped their ideations is proof they worked. I did say they have to be monitored, changing, adjusting or weaning off of medicines after a period of time to see the changes, if there are any. Some have been living productive lives on meds for years, and some have temporary depression episodes where a trial of a medicine is tried to see what happens, and adjusted from there. Placebos aren't used for those with acute suicidal danger. All medicines should be short term, until their mood improves and they can be weaned off them, as they all have side effects. Some improve weaned off them and some don't.
