Doc's often tell their patients depression is about low NT's but it is well known this is not the case. You can deplete all aminos in a normie and no depression happens. The pathway we understand at present is about holding more NT at a specific site, i.e stoping re uptake. Basically
holding what is already there.I really laffed at this doc saying 20% of this and 30% of that. There is no way he can prove this, I think. He is just trying to sell a book.
Mood is very complex and any model we have at present is incomplete.
