Perhaps, I've seen statistics suggesting the rate of remission is lower than this. It depends on your critera.
I remember my doctor claimed I was in remssion, based on the few questions he asked me during my effexor trial. Perhaps if he had asked me if I was still suicidal that would have changed his opinion about what he percieved as remssion.
Other factors need to be considered. Unfortunately, younger people are more likely tend to respond to antidepressants, I think (though I may be wrong) that they are more likely to respond to placebo as well.
