MAOIs are more traditional than the SSRIs. They have been around for much longer and have probably represented the most effective treatment yet available. If MAOIs didn't have diet and drug interaction issues, they would very likely be the psychiatrist's first choice of treatment for depression and probably the second choice for anxiety disorders. There is nothing traditional about treatment resistance. Treatment resistance predominates here, and so should any drug that effectively treats it.
I guess we have different perspectives on this one.
Be well.
