You didn't use those exact words, but it would seem the logical extension of your argument. And to claim that any clinical study of antidepressants is corrupted for profit would seem to ignore the fact that the evidence you are using about anti-depressants not working comes from clinical studies. You can't have it both ways.

It's essential in a discussion like this to quote the other person directly, word for word, as I have just done.

Circle where I ever said this anywhere. Want to have an imaginary debate? Make stuff up.
> would seem to ignore the fact that the evidence you are using about anti-depressants not working comes from clinical studies.
You're confused. Comparing industry-funded studies, in particular when only those with positive outcomes were even published, to a meta-analysis by non-industry sources that gather and analyze all studies, published and unpublished, is to compare apples and oranges.
For the second, you said it was the contextual background of any clinical study, before then going on to compare clinical studies which you are now saying shouldn't be compared.
