Perhaps it's a case of the 'low hanging fruit' being picked already. I think the problem is that we don't really know how the current drugs work, and why they don't work for many people. We have many 'me too' drugs developed but they're not necessarily proving more effective.
I think there's real hope with gene therapy, but who knows how far that is off. Fairly large studies have been showing clusters of genes associated with a range of mood disorders. Even if they could 'correct' a few of the worst offenders, the burden of the disease might be dramatically reduced.
