All I know is that, from studying about mercury toxicity, one of the possible protocols for rapid treatment of depression is high dose folic acid. Mercury disrupts hundreds of bodily functions including the whole B vitamin/folate circuitry. High dose folic acid is recommended as a trial by PHd Andrew Cutler in the book Amalgam Illness.
Personally I can say my depression improved dramatically in 3 days when I increased folic acid from 400mcg to 1000mcg. It's a long side story, but for other reasons I could not stay with that protocol.
Anyway, based purely on my own personal experience, if high dose folic acid can work that good and that fast, it just seems logical to me that deplin would be even better. The need for the high dose folic acid was to overcome the roadblocks layed down by mercury, but deplin would do that directly.
I'm sure there is a subset of people who would respond to deplin monotherapy.
