How to cure depression?

[Faith No More]

Whatever.

My point, as I've made it abundantly clear, is that GP's are not qualified to handle long-term antidepressant prescriptions and that psychiatrists are.

I can't tell if you're being disingenuous when you say that this is your point, or if you truly do not understand that this is not what you have been saying. You have been demonizing long-term use of anti-depressants in general, and you only seem to fall back on this argument when backed into a corner. Do you honestly think that if this was the message you have been conveying that there would have been such opposition to it? Personally, I agree with the fact that someone should be required to see a psychiatrist for long-term use of anti-depressants wholeheartedly, and if this is truly the point you are trying to make, you should be more careful of what you say.

(BTW, I love the fact that you offer up nothing but anecdotal evidence but then completely dismiss any that goes against your argument. And fuck you for saying I don't count. It is an insult, and if you simply wanted to dismiss what I have to say, there are much more tactful ways to do so.)
