I pretty much understand how these drugs work
in the brain judging by their receptor actions.Ah. This assumes we have an amine theory that holds
true and describes mental illness. We don't. Any amine
theory is we have is very flawed. We cannot prove that amines
are the root cause of mental illness. They mey have
nothing at all to do with illness, but when adjusted by meds
cause other adjustments.I have always thought that regulation of amines
is in the middle of the chain of events that cause
mental illness. If they were the root cause, AD's would
be a cure, or at least much more sucessful.
