"And it's incredibly irrational to expect a revelation to come from any drug"
This statement is hilarious on so many levels. I have experienced a few drugs that did exactly this, do you speak from experience?
All you are doing is repeating the dogma of psychopharmacology 10 years ago. It was a very incomplete hypothesis then and it has been greatly developed and changed now.
Yes depression is brain damage and yes the brain must heal via neurogenesis but there is no reason not to expect that drugs (both future and present)can act in two ways, both immediately and in the long term.
The worst thing you can do on this board is to discourage people from trying something. You can only speak from your personal experience and give advice. Sticking to this formula instead of crushing hope with speculation and bad science is a much more empathic and productive way to post here.
