My DH had a disastrous experience on these things. He was "treated" with drugs only, and spiraled into the abyss. It got very, very bad - I won't go into detail. I'm not a fan of them.

I won't go so far as to say they don't help anyone, as a friend is on them for major depression, and she swears they help. Maybe it is the placebo effect, but I doubt her doctor could legally sell her sugar pills and tell her they were the latest wonder drug.
