That is assuming that receptor dysregulation is the cause of depression.

Even this has been disputed. For instance, some AD's decrease 5-ht2a receptor function, but ECT actually upregulates 5-ht2a receptors.

ECT is clinically more effective, so one might suggest that 5-ht2a upregulation is necessary for remission.

I've seen similar findings reported elsewhere.

The fact that tianeptine, and SSRI's are both clinically effective is as crazy as saying that vitamin C prevents scurvy, and vitamin C deficiancy prevents scurvey.
