You used the work "either", but only mentioned the depletion of dopamine. Is there another substance you were going to suggest, or just dopamine?
Why is it thought that dopamine is depleted over time?
If dopamine depletion is indeed the case, than what would the ideal solution be? Isn't Welbutrin a dopamine agonist? I don't see evidence of many people augmenting SSRIs with Welbutrin.
I was always under the impression that there was a more or less proven link between goal-oriented behavior and norepinephrine.
