Of course, whether an effect is considered a side effect or a main effect depends upon the intended effect. So, when Wellbutrin is used for smoking cessation, what do the skeptics think about the appearance of any antidepressant side effects? Sorry, I’m being a bit snarky to make a point about what seems to be a bias among the hard line skeptics.Dr Xhttp://drx.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425732352511468694.post-32460228924875616382009-05-06T04:50:00.000-07:002009-05-06T04:50:00.000-07:00How can you speak of Dr. Phil in the same breath a...How can you speak of Dr. Phil in the same breath as the leviathan, the juggernaut, the media empire that Ars Psychiatrica has become?

My family members and I will snarl at the next person who snarks about how depressed people are just whiners, that depression is treatable, that it can be cured in six sessions of CBT and with one course of SSRIs. Treatment-resistant doesn't even begin to describe the disorders that afflict my relatives. And I do not mean that the patients are resistant to seeking, paying for, and following the advice of their doctors. But rather that nothing helps completely or for long. Some of us have found very good doctors to whom (not to meds or one kind of formulaic therapy) we owe our lives.Retrieverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09036341287285545932noreply@blogger.com
