I'm not sure of the exact function of the 5-ht1d receptors. I know they have been implicated in OCD, but I think if they're stimulated too much it can contribute to melancholy.
SSRI's directly agonize 5-ht1d and lead to desensitization. There has been talk of adding 5-ht1d antagonists to SSRI's to improve responce.

SJW is a good herb. People underestimate it, but it can be very good for anhedonia. Triple uptake inhibitor plus some interesting receptor action. What more could one ask for. I think synthetic SJW is in the pipelines.
