My father is a psychiatrist, and I have defended psychotics in court, so I am eminently qualified to answer this question.

Of course, they work. And there are a variety of them out there. If there is no improvement after 4-6 weeks, a doctor would probably try another.

Whether they should be taken "over a long period" is a whole other question.

But needless to say, not all conditions merit anti-depressants.

Has a doctor recommended these for you and you are debating whether to go along with the plan? I hope you weren't planning to self-medicate, somehow.

Thanks for your response.

I too have defended psyhotics in court, but that's a bit of a different issue, right?

Has your father said that they work? (Or implied this in the course of conversation?)

I guess there wouldn't be such a demand for them if they didn't?

Cheers.
