A notorious campaigner protesting against antidepressants can apparently expect access to the most high-profile platforms. But why does this keep happening?

This is where this all gets confusing for laypeople. If there is clear and incontrovertible evidence that antidepressants work for those who take them (I'm guessing RTCs, longitudinal data, etc) are the contrarians just lying, misinformed, making things up....
