Both Sides of the Story

As I continue to interview people for the film, I am amazed by how many different opinions and points of views there are about these drugs. How did they form these opinions? Education, research, what other doctors say, advertising? No one seems to have a definitive answer, it’s almost a “just because…” mentality.

I wonder if there is as much contradiction and disagreement when people discuss the diagnosis and treatment for cancer or other diseases like Alzheimer’s. With antidepressants, everyone has an opinion and regardless of what side people take, they are all very passionate about what they believe.
