Peter Hitchens Shows Wisdom on Anti-Depressants.

Slowly, oh how slowly, the truth about ‘antidepressants’ is beginning to emerge. Even The Economist magazine, the weekly journal of the smug elite, has now conceded that maybe these pills are prescribed too much, that their effectiveness is overrated, that their side effects can be horrible and some people face real difficulty if they try to stop taking them. I would put all that much more fiercely. My own guess is that within 50 years they will be looked on with the same disdain we now reserve for barbiturates and lobotomies. Such a pity it will take so long. Mail.
