Insight
Watts: Antidepressants are short-term fixes ignoring depression's root causes
“You know, as a short-term thing to get people through a crisis time, I think sometimes it can be really helpful, and for some people it works, but for a lot of people it's a short-term fix that doesn't really change the causes of the depression.”
