Discovering the targets is the first step. Advances in genetic analysis have started to hone in on genetic regions associated with clinical depression.
Advances in one area of medicine can often help spur advances in another.
I am still doing very well on medical cannabis. I am feeling more optimistic than I have in a long time. I don't know what targets it is hitting, but I am feeling better.
Oftentimes a biochemical target is not a single point, it is any point in a long chain of events. In other words, finding a drug that can ehance or disrupt the process at any stage (from start to end) can produce a benefit.
