Check out Elliot Valenstein's "Blaming the Brain". There's actually very little evidence that many of the disorders we are talking about are due to a neurochemical imbalance. These drugs are probably treating symptoms without getting at the underlying cause. Knowing this doesn't help us sufferers, but its good to keep in mind that the "chemical deficiency" idea may be an invention of drug companies that has been perpetuated by doctors and, in some cases, researchers.
