If you've seen the commercials(

) 2 out of 3 people still have depression symptoms after taking antidepressants. Whether thats true or not, its showing two different things. Either the drug companies are lying, doing anythign they can to make a profit off of this drug. Or 2, antidepressants simply just do-not work. Not to be completely negative on this topic but come on, someone has to criticize this.

 

If you read about abilify, it treats a wide range of completely different disorders, in one pill. How can that be possible? IT says it treats Schizophrenia, Bi-polar disorder, Depression, Autism(irritability) and Cocaine Dependency.

 

If someone is taking this medication for depression, is it not going in and acting on the same part of the brain as it would for bi-polar disorder or schizophrenia? It would have to be acting on the same part because the medication cannot tell what is exactly wrong with and go in and fix only that. If this med did work as it says its suppose to, wouldn't it be a ground breaking jaw dropping medicine? To treat all of these disorder affectively?
