I meant to say that possibly the individual people mentioned at the beginning of the article (who were experiencing normal, temporary sadness, if the narrative is to be trusted) perhaps didn't need anti-depressants; and certainly I should have said that other individual people might have perfectly good reasons for eschewing anti-depressants. The success rate of such substances isn't all that high, alas, and I don't think people should be on them who don't want to. But I could tell by the tone of the article that all these anecdotes were going to be pressed into service to prop up a set of the same old invalid arguments.
