I think the TRUE measure of antidepressant efficacy...REMISSION...RETURNING TO ONE'S FORMER SELF... would make the numbers go way down. Unfortunately they don't rate antidepressants that way. Instead they usually use 50% improvement. 50%? That sucks. Or sometimes they use 'much improved' or 'very much improved'. But even then, that is not the same as remission. Define efficacy by remission and I bet the success percentage would drop to about 10% to 20%. Just a guess.
