It is my humble opinion that medications may help or hinder depression. There are so many different medications these days for the same diagnosis and my belief is that because each body can react differently to the same medication you have to have a variety. Sometimes it's a matter of trial and error to find the right combination. I do agree there are pharmaceutical companies that will give a bonus to doctors or clinics or hospitals if they promote a specific drug. I've seen it happen and it's shameful.
