Just ranting.
If psych meds impact specific brain dysfunctions, where are the tests that identify which patients will respond to which meds? We've got DNA, EEG, MRI, PET, CSF, etc etc, *and* paper-&-pencil tests galore. Why doesn't the medical world have an idea which antidepressant will benefit which patient?
It's still guesswork guesswork guesswork. (You may have guessed I've been nonresponsive to ADs.)
