Abstract

The recent review of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) by the Committee on Safety of Medicines (CSM) and the Food and Drug Administration was occasioned by media concerns about the safety of this class of antidepressant. In much of the prior and subsequent reporting of this issue, two assumptions have consistently been aired. The first is that psychotherapy is equally effective as drugs and the second is that since psychotherapy is not a drug, it is necessarily safer than drug treatments. From these two assumptions emerges a common presumption that psychotherapy should be the preferred approach for many if not most cases of depressive and anxiety disorders. But is this true? And if not, what implications does it have for the management of the new therapists that will soon be employed following the UK government’s award of £150 m for psychotherapy services in depression and anxiety?

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
