Guest guest Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 I do not know what this study truly indicates. First of all the Hypericum was also given as an extract , which was manufactured by another pharmaceutical company, albeit an " alternative pharmaceutical company". Then, the treatment was not without problems. Thirdly, "statistically" significant only means the p-value is 5 % or below. But, the incidence of all the problems in these patients may also be below 5 %., even otherwise. Whether given hypericum as a drug, or paroxitene, it is definitely not the same as saying enough family support will decrease the incidence of depression.
