First, these effects are implausibly large. Second, if SSRIs work short-term, why the null-result for the SSRI sertraline (which has the smallest CI). Third, the results are grossly different to the 8-week result.
Show Post3/ Just compare this to the data available to the FDA (Stone et al. 2009, BMJ), with 295 trials and about 27,000 participants! Therefore, the review by Li et al. is a tiny fraction of all available trials. And it gets worse
