Was thinking about this. I wonder if the reason we haven't seen meds which we can tell whether they'll work or not in days, instead of weeks or months, isn't because the science isn't there (opiods have been around forever) but because pharma doesn't pursue developing them because society would have a fit. Depression lifting the same or next day in the same way Xanax stops a panic attack, or Tylenol stops minor aches and pains? Can you imagine the press? However, because of all the suffering depression has caused in my life, the waiting game I see us all have to play, for many of us over and over again, I would like such compounds to be developed.
