How it went for everyone who tried one of its treatments
Helped means they said it helped with what they took it for, which may be one symptom and not the illness. Each person counts once: someone who tried several of these treatments is split equally across those they said how it went for.
Shares are out of the 1,692 people who said how it went for at least one of them, each counted once, the parts rounded to whole people. 369 more tried one or credit the approach without saying how it went.

The bar (How it went) and the line under each name are among everyone on the site who tried it and said how it went, the same numbers as on each treatment’s own page. Recovered and Faded are among the people here who credit it. Grey numbers rest on fewer than 10 people; a faded share in red is a third or more.
Fewer than 3 people here credit these, so they aren’t ranked: Levomilnacipran (Fetzima).
