That 70% get better for a measurable period of time doesn't mean that it was necessarily the drugs that made this happen, nor does it mean that one won't relapse. I don't think the STAR*D used a placebo arm, which mystifies which routes really lead to recovery. So these studies certainly don't say that modern medical science can eliminate 70% of depression or anything.
