Overview
Dr. Larry Kaskel is joined by psychotherapist and freelance journalist Dr. Gary Greenberg who participated in a clinical trial for a new anti-depression medication. He discusses the fact that in over half the trials used to approve the six leading anti-depressants, the drugs failed to outperform the placebo. He also speaks about the discovery of a pattern of brain activity that is common to those subjects who respond to the placebo.
