> I have seen these things really work though.

The argument (based on some large scale trials and other data) is that after 2+ years, those on SSRIs are worse off than they would have been without them.

The issue is that by taking SSRIs, you may be getting a few weeks of negligible benefits in exchange for a lifetime of being disabled, when otherwise you'd have been better after a few months using other interventions.
