There are more anti-depressants these days than you can shake a stick at. Off the top of my head--and I'm a surgeon--I can think of:
Prozac
Zoloft
Paxil
Effexor
Remeron
Wellbutrin
Zyprexa
St John's Wort (1st-line rx in europe)
To say that he was out of established prescription options doesn't make sense.
I get that he's been through a lot and I do feel sorry for him about that, but he really did bring it on himself this time.
