Any time you simplify a complex system, you lose information. I fear that the simplification that declares depression to be the result of an imbalance in serotonin is really meaningless. To focus on just one chemical amidst a soup of other chemicals is wilful blindness. Just think about the blind men and the elephant.

THANK YOU LAR !!!.
It has been clear to me for years that with complex systems like neurology, simplistic
models like "increasing whatever" are flawed.This is also my consern about this site. People
seem to only leave with the understanding of "Oh, all I need is to increase X". I have been posting for years trying to correct this misconception, but few seem to want to listen and understand.
