I agree we need to develope more accurate diagnostics. There are a number of effective ad's out there that effect one or more neurotransmitter groups. We need testing to determine which ones we may be low in and therefore get the correct ad prescribed. If you go to a primary for depression you will get one of the newer ssris prescibed. But in fact your depression may not be do to an ssri deficiancy!
I have heard that there are some newer ads being developed that work on cortisol as that has been implicated in depression.We also may see more maois being prescribed again as doctors realize their efficacy. Doctors have to educate themselves about the drug and dietary restrictions.
