It doesn't surprise me one bit that we have a very poor understanding of how to treat depression. I think we often have a reductionist view of it. The fact that a whole constellation of causes is referred to as just 'depression' bugs me.

I find it troubling that we spend so much on research when it's a very -- dare I say -- wholistic problem with a myriad number of causes, some subtle and some more obvious. We may never understand fully the depth of the problem and shining a light on things like certain drugs, while helpful as short-term fixes for certain individuals, may just be masking those other issues.
