Um, are you joking? Seriously, are you?PLENTY of people can get depressed on Accutane, and have. And many of these people weren't depressed before starting the drug. But that doesn't mean Accutane caused it...
And as far as the oil "theory" I have, it's not coming from me, it's coming from my Harvard school of dema-grad dermatologist. Teens happen to get oily skin while on acne, as you get older and continue to have cystic acne, it tends to exist without oil. I'm 19 now and have little oil, but some acne (not much, as result of two accutane therapies).
As for the fat thing, I really don't know what to say about that. What would that have to do with interferering with neurotransmitters?
