My guess is that there is a brief shift in brain function as the brain is first exposed to an antidepressant substance while on the way to establishing a new equilibrium.

As opposed to the power of suggestion that a placebo response must be the explanation for all cases of tachyphylaxis?
Ketamine produces an antidepressant response within hours of its administration. The response lasts but for a few days. I would be hesitant to cite a placebo response for these TRD cases whom experience their first real treatment-effected improvement.

I dream of things that never were and ask why not.
