Basically this suggests that if you *don't* have TRD (or havn't specifically failed a the given treatment), then monotherapy is better.
It doesn't show that once you fail an initial treatment, that addding a secondary agent doesn't result in a higher remission rates.
In other words, the study is flawed because its not focusing on TRD patients (ie those whom you would expect to receive polypharmacy).
