gene therapy for depression - how far away are we?

I named this after a past psychobabble article I read. And have been reading into it. But, does anyone else have any info on this?

My guess is a long way off. My best hope in the conceivably near future would be that they could find out which medications would work best with which genotypes.

But my one experience with DNA and mental health was not at all encouraging. My phenotype didn't really match my genotype. Perhaps there were some prenatal influences aside from genes.
