Like, quite honestly I think the quality of life of those suffering from depression is no better today than it was 10 years ago.
I mean prozac still is today probably one of your best bets, as it was back in the late 80's.
I was reading the book, "Drugs and the Brain" by Solomon H. Snyder, 1986. In this book they discribe citalopram and its usefullness in treating depression. But this drug doesn't see the light of day till like 14 years later. The reason it takes a drug that has been proven effective 14 years to make it onto the market astounds me.
I mean wasn't RU-486 supposed to be in a fast-tracking process? Theres a lot of hype but still a lot of suffering.
