Reply to comment by DooDooSlinger in Study suggests use of antidepressants generates resistance to antibiotics by Logibenq
A meta study some years ago showed that SSRIs are no better than placebo for all but the most severely depressed people, the kind of depression where you can't even get out of bed and dress yourself, yet millions of people with mild-to-moderate depression are still prescribed them and suffer the awful side-effects.

The study you're referring to was done by Irving Kirsch. He's an American psychologist who specializes in the placebo effect. He found that antidepressants have no clinical significance when compared to a placebo while like you said exposing people to a host of terrible side effects.
