1. Traditional experimental research has shown limited utility in guiding complex treatments for depression
2. Treatments for depression are best tested in real world settings
3. As research funding becomes increasingly limited, studies requiring large sample sizes to identify subtype differences in response to complex treatments become even less likely to occur.
4. With depression on the increase and remission rates from antidepressants at only 30%, the need for better algorithms with higher success rates grows more urgent.
