Researcher Slams SSRIs, Citing Large Risks And Small Benefits

2009 March 19

by giannakali

I got this PDF file emailed to me yesterday, but wasn’t well enough to take a good look at it, so just visit Furious Seasons’s today. This is a VERY important step forward.

Do not assume my endorsement of everything on this site

I often publish authors whose articles I appreciate but I may not always agree with all that is said. My pieces, also, cannot stand alone. Pieces of my work contain ideas that may sometimes seem to contradict other pieces because all cannot be said in a short essay on any given subject. It's wise to not make assumptions based on a few pieces of writing. The same holds true for me blogroll. I by no means agree with everything all the authors share. Use your judgment in all things.
