Incorporating pure research into treatment design is especially valuable when nothing tried previously was effective. It can increase one's probability to succeed.

If the first drug you tried worked, how would you have spent your spare time over the years? Had you been studying adenylate cyclase and second messenger cascades, would it have helped you choose the right treatment? I wouldn't have. I would have preferred to be ignorant of neur1oscience rather than having a need to study it.

For me, remission was essential to my survival financially and satisfaction with the rewards life has offered me.

Obviously, the key to success in treatment-resistant affective disorders is to strike a balance between the empirical and the theoretical. There just aren't enough posts devoted to clinical (empirical) research - What works without giving much consideration to how it works.

Whatever works.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
