'they pick up' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'article by current media workers' is the wordplay.
'article by' becomes 'an' (indefinite article. I am not sure about the 'by' bit.).
'current' becomes 'tide' (I've seen this before).
'media' becomes 'press' (I've seen this before).
'workers' becomes 'ants' (I've seen this before).
'an'+'tide'+'press'+'ants'='ANTIDEPRESSANTS'

(Another definition for antidepressants that I've seen is " Some pills".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
