The most interesting piece to this I found was when they mentioned that when they tested MAOIs, EST, and Tricyclics that they got the same result. The interesting piece was that some people do not respond to one treatment, but do respond to another and that is saying that the chemistry finds them all to be about the same, or to have about the same result. I'm wondering how much "free will" comes into play where the routes are being discussed. Is there such a social stigma on EST that one might "think" themselves to fail with it? Or the same question for medicines.

The heterogeneous nature of depression

Depression is generally considered to be a specific and consistent disorder characterized by a fixed set of symptoms and often treated with a combination of psychotherapy and medication. However, the standard rating scales used by healthcare professionals and researchers to diagnose this disease often differ in the symptoms they list, perhaps explaining why a one-size-fits-all treatment has to date been so ineffective, new research suggests.
