Well I had severe depression and a combination of lexapro and abilify was like magic. Got me from the living dead to completely normal. Also made me gain weight like crazy. I ended up on an MAOI. I bet if they included MAOIs in this study they'd also find that they work primarily for severe depression. I think a lot of depressive symptoms are not biologically based and require therapy rather than drugs.
But severe, nearly catatonic, depressions are mostly biological and require meds.
