I completely disagree. Traditional monoaminergic antidepressants work for many people. Other drugs like ketamine work for others. People who are still suffering, may benefit from drugs that can help treat different forms of depression.
I have been reading on this target recently, and it certainly shows some promise. It seems to have completely distinct effects (i.e. mice with disturbances in this system don't respond to traditional antidepressants, but do respond to MCHR1 antagonists.)
