My hunch is that because his focus is on MAO and reuptake inhibiting mechanisms, he doesn't see mirtazapine as a 'true' antidepressant.
However, there is quite a bit of literature suggesting that 5-ht2 antagonists and alpha-2 antagonists have antidepressant effects. For example, 5-ht2c antagonists and alpha-2 antagonists have independent neurotrophic properties.
To be honest, I wish that mirtazapine was my first antidepressant. I honestly think I would have recovered a bit better. I think all the reuptake stuff altered my brain in adolecence.
