I wonder how effective this is compared to the old and tired "diet, plenty of exercise, plenty of sunlight, and time with people who enjoy you and love you".

  You can't just package "people who love you" into a pill though. That probably requires rewinding society to where we all lived close to extended family.

  I wonder how effective this is compared to a 15k cash infusion

    That's the real question, $16k could buy you quite a bit of onsite help.

    Depressed people don't tend to spend much.

  It's almost certainly less. Keep in mind though that your treatment isn't 100% effective either, particularly considering the hormonal changes involved.

  Well this is a postpartum pill so plenty of exercise may be out. Depending on how labor and birth went the mother may not be in any condition to exercise. Also I think most mothers already get more time with loved ones postpartum than other times. Postpartum is typically a time of little sleep, rapidly changing hormones, and lots of lifestyle changes too. So postpartum depression is very common, and not something that is so trivial to solve.
