Many of us are on different cocktails of drugs which interact, for one thing. And if we were all the same, all we'd need is one antidepressent, which would work for everyone, one benzo, one antipsychotic. End of story. And we all know that's not true. Case studies are very valuable, you take a lot of case studies, you can look for patterns, build theories, design studies. I think biology and our personal "other factors" are too complex to come up with blanket answers.
