<<BTW aren't there studies showing anti-depressent drugs WITH cognitive therapy are better than the drugs along?>>
David,
Majority of the drugs (literally every drug, from antibiotic to anti-cancer) are ADD IN. Their medical benefit are measured on top of the: placebo, best supportive care, active drug, standard of care,...in settings which simulate real world. Alone they are more poison than drugs, imo.
For instance, anti-depressant. If you consume pills and do nothing to correct factors, which cause depression, you are reaching for status quo, or by medical term, you are going for drugs-dependence. In one way we are against STREET drugs, and in another paying for prescriptions one. BTW, drug companies love this status quo.
Regards the obesity, if you consume pills and continue to live and eat like pigs what you will achieve? IF drug can help in this process of the weight loss and control, than it is worth price. For instance, IF Axokine confirm positive PII data trend, 6 months on drug...six months off...three or six months on..., than it will be breaktrue new drug for obesity and diabetes.
