Do none of your friends have severe depression? CBT doesn't work for severe depression without medication in my experience.

That seems a strange reply to a comment that acknowledged medication only really has a real effect in severe cases.

Even for a friend who is severely depressed, which medication will work? How long does each one need to be tried for? What is meant by ‘work’ exactly? Meanwhile, the serious side effects aren’t even fully understood, and you’ll be buying them from companies that actively denied and hid such information from legislators and the public.

You're taking my comment completely out of context. Please reread.
