If you\u2019re amongst the millions who suffer from\u00a0Depression<\/a>, you\u2019ve probably tried many treatments, both Conventional and natural. Have they helped you, made no difference, or made things worse? Perhaps you\u2019re even wondering what to do now? Then this fact may interest you. More and more research is concluding that Conventional anti-depressant medications are at best useless or worse, dangerous. Indeed, a study in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry reveals that antidepressant drugs work no better than other methods at relieving\u00a0depression<\/a>. Or, in the words of the Journal\u2019s authors: \u201cThis trial of urban MDD patients failed to confirm that either active treatment was better than placebo.\u201d Their lead researcher, Jacques P. Barber PhD, even admitted: \u201cI was surprised by the results, they weren\u2019t what I\u2019d expected.\u201d The results may also have caused Barber some embarrassment given that some of co-researchers have received funding from the pharmaceutical industry for the study. In trying to justify the \u2018unexpected\u2019 results, Barber also said: \u201creceiving a placebo in a clinical trial is not the same as getting no treatment.\u201d That\u2019s because study participants in placebo groups have contact with health professionals who are asking about their symptoms and well-being<\/p>\n
