A strength of dtug therapy?

-Supporting research from Soomro (2008) conducted a review of randomised drug trails, compares the effectiveness of SSRIs against a placebo -SSRIs were significantly more effective in the treatment, 17 different trails with a typical reduction of up 70% in severity of symptoms. -Supports the treatment as it shows that drugs can be used to reduce symptoms, but it doesn't specify the long-term effects -COUNTER: could be a publication bias, reserarch sponsered by the companies selling the SSRI, unlikely to post any negative responses, use data with caution
