One aspect of the monoamine theory which I never understood was the following:
Evidence for a serotonin deficiancy was based on the idea that serotonin metabolite levels 5-htaa were low in the brains of suicide victoms.
Though, I was under the impression that reuptake inhibitors and MAOI's actually *decrease* the level of these metabolites?
