Current methods lead to 30% success rate with SSRI's. There are over 1000 permutations of possible forms of "major depression".


That's literally a treatment we don't understand fully the mechanism behind because of the complexity of the brain is it relates to depression and you are saying we need to diagnosis depression based on brain measures?

Who said anything about crude measures? The field is heavily developing, becoming increasingly sophisticated in it's approaches and quantifications. Secondly, output of a system can be produced by many different ways, 1+4 = 5, but so does 7 - 2. Understanding the underlying biological mechanisms will lead to better more precise treatment.


There is no way to use electrodes on human subjects outside epilepsy patients. PET is even more expensive and hard to get permission to do because of the radioactive isotopes involved. And yes fMRI is an extremely crude measure. I combine it with EEG at the same time to deal with issues in the temporal resolution, but it's nothing close to what you can do with electrodes and the data analysis is messy by requirement. The whole field of fMRI is controversial because of the all the stats fudging needed to even get any usable data.
