I can understand your scepticism towards SSRI.
It is not the wonder drug it was once prophesized to be. Its action may work for some but it has many side effects, although fewer compared to older antidepressants.I agree that the pathogenesis of depression is complicated since it probably involves how our organism responds to stress, which is influenced by both genes and environment. So practically anything can be blamed for causing a depression. This is something the supplement industry is pretty good at capitalizing. But the majority of people do not get chronic depression at all so in my oppinion the real problem lies within us and once we understand the etiology behind depression it may very well be quite simple.
