Adam - I really wasn't dismissing reductionism; you are right, you wouldn't know how the car worked unless you knew what the spark plug did. I do think we are at a point in research where we must start looking at the bigger picture. In other word, we have to stop worrying about whether increasing serotonin or dopamine will alleviate depressive symptoms, and find another angle of attack. Obviously, the monominergic theory of depression is not the answer.
Thanks for your perspectives. - Cam
