Hi, the theory that antidepressants improve depression by raising serotonin was actually disproven a long time ago and now doctors don't know if or how they work. There is actually a lot of evidence that supports the theory that any real benefit of antidepressants is actually a placebo effect. The problem is that drug companies only publish the studies that show a benefit and don't publish the studies that show these drugs don't actually help anyone.
