Depressed patients and their physicians naturally expect that each new antidepressant that reaches the market will represent a conceptual and therapeutic advance over previous medications. We can determine how realistic this expectation may be if we review dispassionately the validity of the assumptions that underlie the development of new antidepressants and the data supporting their differential effectiveness.
