I`ve been noticing how people from the UK find that their doctors give up on them after a few trials, whereas in the US they keep trying ever more complicated regimes (at least if the patient has good insurance). Sometimes I wonder which is better, hope is good, sure, but so many people can`t tolerate the side effects of high dose multi-med regimes. Doctors like Dr. Goldberg don`t see them because they finally give up on their own and decide depression without side effects is better than depression with them. I`d be curious to know what percent of people are actually able to tolerate some of these elaborate cocktails-doctors say such and such percentage inprove on such and such regime, but they never say what percent was never able to get to therapeutic doses on said regime.
