Anti-Depressant Drug Trials (EDM1041)

Anti-Depressant Drug Trials

EDM number 1041 in 2007-08, proposed by Paul Flynn on 26/02/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Medicine and Mental health.

That this House welcomes the revelation under Freedom of Information of un-published trial reports on anti-depressants that prove they are no more effective than placebos for the great majority of patients; deplores the practice of pharmaceutical companies of suppressing publication of trials with negative results that has encouraged the over-prescription of drugs that have serious adverse side-effects; and calls for a re-appraisal of the efficacy of drug treatment for mild depression compared with the drug-free therapies of exercise and cognitive behaviour therapy.

This motion has been signed by a total of 40 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
