Pure neuroscience research is extraordinarily valuable, but more so for those who will come after us. Can someone use what they learn from research papers to design a treatment? Of, course they can. Unfortunately, this is uncommon.

For example, I was interested in vortioxetine (which I'm on right now) because I had read it acts on serotonin 5-HT3 receptors, which was interesting to me because I had never tried anything else with an effect on those receptors.
