19/24, one of the accents threw me off. Also some of these are just wrong - sildenafil (Viagra), amantadine and at least one more are not antidepressants at all, and a few of the remaining ones are truly super obscure. “Introduced in Russia in the late 60s”, “Indian antidepressant from 1982”, “Formerly marketed in Spain and Marocco” etc
Viagra is an antidepressant in a very indirect way, in that you usually feel quite a bit happier after making use of its effects!
At first I thought you were talking about something like whatever-iazid, the first “antidepressant” that was actually an antibiotic and the antidepressive effect was completely accidental. But yeah, I suppose that makes sense, too.
For the purposes of the quiz just being a drug of some sort is probably close enough to add a few more rounds. One might also argue that Viagra makes a peen harder to depress? Anyway if they didn’t put in fake Tolkien names or names from other authors I figure it’s fine.
