It is amazing though that his still prevails within what is purported to be an evidence-based professional area.

Scary really.

I think thats enough proof

However, to cure the depression completely requires your own effort.

It also clearly illustrates the true motives and concerns of drug companies, who would rather make a profit than make a truly effective drug that the public has a real understanding of.
