In a recent study , researchers from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) found that optimism predicted response to antidepressant drugs.

Joanna Moncrieffs book Chemically imbalanced at least seems to have ruffled a few feathers, as it has led to a Lancet editorial.

E motional illnesses are mainly depressions, anxieties, substance abuse, and over- and under eating. They cause emotional distress. This distress comes from conflicts and support imbalances in relationships. Such illnesses commonly arise in our closest family relationships. The support imbalance comes about because one person gives too much emotional support to another while the other person demands and receives too much emotional support.

Peter Gtzsche is not joking when he asks if psychiatrists are more mad than their patients (see his Mad in America blog post ). I understand what he means about the wishful thinking of biomedical psychiatrists (see eg. previous post ). Its important not to distance ourselves from people with whom we disagree by labelling them insane (see eg. previous post ).
