This sort of thing should be discouraged. "Powerful" would simply not
not appear in an honest account as a modifier of "anti-depressant
drugs." I've _never_ seen that adjective in straightforward discussion
of anti-depressants, and the only excuse for it hear is that the writer
is trying to put across bullshit.
What in the hell would a "weak anti-depressant drug" be?
