Finally, the truth about antidepressants is revealed. Lead researcher, Professor Irving Kirsch from the Department of Psychology at Hull University, said: “The difference in improvement between patients taking a placebo and patients taking antidepressants is not very large. There are no reasons why prescribing antidepressants for anyone other than severely depressed patients could not provide benefits without treatment. This study poses serious problems that need to be addressed when licensing drugs and how test traffic data is reported. ”
Halla University is located in Hull, located in East Yorkshire, UK. A university is a progressive university with world-class teaching and research. Their pedagogical skills are highly valued in national quality assessments and are internationally recognized in many areas, the quality of which informs their teaching at all levels.
Analysis of the study showed that, compared with the effects of placebo, antidepressants do not have a clinically significant effect in poorly depressed people or in most people suffering from very severe depression. In addition, the apparent clinical efficacy of antidepressants in a small group of extremely depressed people is somewhat distorted. It seems that a good result was due to the fact that the response of these people to the place was reduced, and not any noticeable increase in their response to antidepressants.
In addition, in a comparative study of behavioral therapy, psychoanalysis, and hypnotherapy, published by the journal American Health Magazine, this study shows that hypnotherapy is very effective in treating people with mental health problems.
