Doubt it.

You can calculate what % of mothers feel this way by selling it (no insurance) for 15k and see who buys it…

Presumably this is exactly what Biogen-Sage Therapeutics is doing.
The price of the pill is not related to whether it works or not.
The price of the pill must be weighed against the effectiveness of the pill. A 15k treatment can't just be 10% better than placebo to be cost-effective, it needs to be better than any other use of 15k to be justified.
