[Editorial] Synthesising evidence for antidepressants

Thinking at different scales is challenging. Translating between scales is difficult, and it can be appealing to focus on one aspect, such as short-term solutions versus longer-term effects, but this can create simplified stories.

Even seemingly objective research can reach different conclusions despite starting from the same evidence base.
