Peter Gøtzsche responds to criticism from Nutt et al in The Lancet

Professor Peter Gøtzsche has today published an article in The Lancet entitled: ‘Why I think antidepressants cause more harm than good’. It was written in response to an earlier piece by Professor David Nutt, Professor Guy Goodwin and others under the heading: ‘Attacks on antidepressants: signs of deep-seated stigma?’

Gøtzsche’s article can be read here:

    Could you please make the article public on the CEP website?

    The whole process of having to subscribe to the Lancet is laborious.

    “They also talk about anti-psychiatry, anti-capitalism, and a conspiracy theory. This is the language of people who are short of arguments.”

    Amen Peter!

    Perhaps Nutt et al should try these drugs themselves.
