  • Fox is enough to drive anyone to depression.

  • The vast majority of Americans that take anti depressants are not even clinically depressant. True depression means you cannot get out of bed in the morning, sleep very few hours and have no interests in anything. Most people are just feeling a little low or have a very mild form of the mood disorder, which cannot be treated by anti depressants. It is terrible that doctors are prescribing these drugs like sweets. Anti depressants have been proven to be ineffective in mild cases.

  • @muddy2  You are clueless about the fox networks. They are all independent.

  • @bobdacreepable welcome to the club! i completely agree

  • Second, the comparison between low serotonin (which is clinically diagnosed) and the desire to get drunk is very inappropriate. I think these guys should work harder to improve their thesis if they are willing help people.

  • As a student of psychiatry, and an ex-patient, I can say that this conversation is absolutely unprofessional. The thesis are very poor and the examples they had given are absolutely incomparable. First the host has obviously briefly knowledge about antidepressants and the way they work. They don't increase the serotonin levels- especially the SSRIs (like she said).

  • @piddleton Actually they are most effective with people who do not even need them. Researchers found that people with more serious depression are rarely helped.

  • Is it just me or is the woman in the center really annoying?

  • @MayorofC They're killing peaple? I was not aware of that.

  • THESE DRUGS ARE KILLING PEAPLE

  • Finally, something on Fox News that's worth watching.
