I totally agree with your comments on serotonin/NE approaches, and parnate. It's also consistent with what Dr Gillman saw throughout his career in clinical practice.
In the naturopath world, they use the very concepts you discussed to make the diagnosis and find the right treatment simultaneously. 5htp or tryptophan are tried. Good rapid result indicates a serotonin problem. DLPA for NE and endorphins. Tyrosine for NE and DA. Best results are usually combinations based on individual trials first. The description of the depression usually points to which one of those to try first.
