I guess the starting point of the discussion would be limited to existing medications and their capacity to effect an improvement in depression. I revised the questions in a more recent post to limit the effects described in terms of positive therapeutic effect. Adverse effects of medication are certainly evident, but their consideration really does not give evidence of the existence or absence of a therapeutic phenomenon.
