Or, in both cases the effect is mostly placebo.

Hi
1. High degree of co-morbidity would be one approach to take. See
following, which also mentions the fact that SSRIs work for both
depression and anxiety.

2. More theoretically and speculatively, diathesis-stress models would
presumably allow for such a thing as common diathesis and different
"stress" (sad-inducing vs. anxiety-inducing) components in the model.
3. People are complex and we don't know everything yet, although
students probably tire of hearing that after awhile.
4. See Jeff's post.
Take care

I was telling students in class that SSRIs are effective for treating
both anxiety and depressive disorders. A student who was paying
attention wanted to know how the same drug can work to help a disorder
that seems to be based on a hyperactive nervous system and on anoter
disorder based on apparently a hypoactive nervous system.
I gave what I thought was an adequate answer but I'd like to hear from
tipsters.
Thanks

The best argument against Intelligent Design is that fact that
people believe in it.
