> Maybe we could set up a prize of 10 million bucks for the first team that can effectively remit TRD with a safe, patent-free treatment. I would contribute to that fund right now. Seriously, similar prizes have generated work in space flight, robotics, clock making, etc.
It costs around a .5 to 1 billion dollars to research and develop a new med; the majority of meds developed never make it to market.
10 million is a drop in the bucket.
