Memantine at 20 mg works as well as escitalopram for depression:

Memantine up to 40 mg is effective for depression:

However, memantine up to 20 mg was no better than placebo:

The truth is that it works in some cases, but not in others. For example, it worked a lot better than SSRIs for me, but that doesn't predict its effects on anyone else. It's just one of many options that may be worth trying.
