Another study that reveals the inefficacy of medication is the Consumer Reports study that showed that psychotherapy is generally helpful. That study found no difference between psychotherapy with and without medication. If, in fact, medication helps SOME people SOME of the time (which is generally accepted), the only way for there to be no difference between the psychotherapy groups with and without meds is for there to be at least as many people harmed by drugs as helped (so that the averages for the two groups as a whole are the same).
