En 2017 se publicó un metaanálisis sobre la eficacia de los antidepresivos (otro más, habría que decir). Es un tema que no cesa precisamente porque no está nada claro. Aquí va el enlace. https://t.co/OZarlA9L7C

It’s still hotly debated whether they actually work, how they work, not to mention potential adverse side effects. I feel for people who suffer. The best I can say about SSRIs is they appear to blunt emotions.

@Martin_Ploederl Moreover, according to Jakobsen et al only 6 of 131 SSRI trials reported a QoL outcome, though arguably most included such a measure. So outcome reporting bias likely a very big issue here. There is certainly a reason why QoL is so rarely reported... https://t.co/JOf6I3wXTk

@berry5474 @honestsabe @emilykmay Oh so you don’t know what a meta-analysis is. Here you go, here’s one on SSRIs. You might find the conclusion illuminating. Btw there is none for vaccines. You’ve made an argument from silence fallacy https://t.co/piJaaZtNAV

@RevRDracoAuthor @statwonk @2Hater2Ade @justin_garson @AlastairMcA30 There are many. Important that the studies that qualify for inclusion must have an active placebo, one that gives some mild symptoms to truly blind the participants from knowing which they've got. Most studies are junk. https://t.co/XFYSeYNjMm
@yoshkapundrick @PierreKory Right, lets really get into the data then. SSRI's effects are not clinical significant, remission was higher in SSRI users, and adverse outcomes were significantly higher. And of course they are the drug of choice, they are the best we've currently got. https://t.co/glmbfku53e

@HengartnerMP @Martin_Ploederl @therealrthorat Power is lower in Gunnell and Ferguson than in Stone yet you seem to prefer the two former ones. Why? Anyway, we can of course trade references back and forth (eg., https://t.co/qmYtztqQVq). My point is that whether or not ad:s cause suicide and suicide attempts is far from clear
@LasseTKrogsbll @HengartnerMP But the problem then, of course, is that there are so few events that no firm conclusions can be drawn (see e.g., https://t.co/t2aLmQpx2C) - which is exactly were we've been for the last twenty or so years and exactly where we will continue to be for the foreseeable future.
