After the shenanigans with the South Korean stem cell researcher we should not wonder that no one has ever done full-scale studies on depression drugs without the kind support of big pharma. Over half-a-century of such drugs and we still don't know how the brain works? Not being a doctor we would mightily guess the drugs work, and that they function at a higher level than the placebo effect; but not being a doctor we would guess the brain's chemistry can confound even the most carefully planned research, a job made easier with the lack of credible studies.
