03.13.08 | Comment?

Telegraph.co.uk reports:

“Millions of Britons are taking anti-depressants for no reason, according to a study that found they made little difference to the condition.

“Researchers discovered the drugs, which cost the taxpayer almost £300 million a year, generally work no better than dummy pills, and said exercise and therapy should first be prescribed instead.

“In England 31 million prescriptions were written for anti-depressants in 2006″

“Only a small group of patients with extreme depression showed any beneficial effect, the team from the University of Hull reported. ”
