>>11856018Why wouldn't you use a drug if it doesn't make you happy? That sounds depressing by itself. Having real connections with others, honest communication, being able to live as you are, seem more related to happiness.
Its astonishing that you might expect taking a medicine to make you happy.
>>11856027Quality of life, perhaps, though how is that also measured?
There can be a difference between having less symptoms of depression, and happiness.

>six weeksSix to 8 weeks is a good amount of time to see how much effect there may be from a dose level. If the drug and the person are an effective match, most of the benefit is seen quite soon, 2 weeks perhaps.
