It’s a trick question. Tolkien’s works are also antidepressants.

I should be ashamed for not knowing all the kings of Gondor

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.

Same score as me, but my first thought was that I know too much about LOTR

Though I only guessed on a couple

Perhaps I also know too many antidepressants

I would have done way better if they only used the chemical name. Instead it seemed like mostle a mix of non-proprietary names and trade names.

Wow, 14/24 that was more difficult than I thought. TBF I haven’t fully reread the Silmarillion since Middle School, but I didn’t expect it to be quite this hard.
