I am not suggesting that they release a drug prematurely, I just wish the decision to take a risk with a new drug wasn't calculated solely in terms of $.
The approval of a metabolite is probably a lot more likely then the approval of a novel drug.
I just don't really think that the quality of life for the average person with depresson is all that much better than what it was 15 years ago.I just get bummed when I see good drugs like gepirone deemd "not approvable"
