- I wonder what sort of robot you'd need to be to take something as complexly unknowable as human feeling and begin trying to explain it so simply, as a matter of fluids and chemicals, electrical signals and processes... But, the idea looms that if we ever truly did understand what feelings really are, and how the brain really works in regards to that and our personality, then we'd no longer even be human. It used to be that life was thought of as a journey, and our minds and personalities developed around our experiences and that put a emphasis on creating the right environments to live and grow in. That is still the reality of truth, but not where we're heading. We're heading to a world that can crumble around us - like a man living in a dirty city with no jobs - and the problem be seen as the brain and treated with a drug to just change the perception of it - like the aforementioned man becoming an alcoholic - Really, how can these people claim to know so much at any stage? I mean, they were stuck on serotonin when that was their belief, and now it could turn to this... They don't even understand the very entity they are trying to explain nor do they ever factor in all the complexities surrounding the issue itself. It's perhaps logically impossible that we could know our feelings the way we know math and bridge the two, while still maintaining human qualities. It must be why psychiatry's methods of medical treatment all focus around disabling brains with drugs, reducing the brain to a point where it's as simple as they understand it.

- Like someone said, we already have tests for depression. DSM-IV criteria, Beck Depression Inventory, talking to a qualified professional... Furthermore, it seems to me like it's a gross oversimplification of clinical depression. Like remixboy pointed out, a happy pill makes you (artificially) happy, not actually better.

- Now wouldn't that be something?

- If it does not identify the difference between a legitimate depression, like after a death or other loss, and depression that is abnormal, then what is the value? Further, since low B12 results in depressions in many cases, it seems as if this "discovery" does not take low B12 into account at all... rather, it seems like a major way to ascribe a particular drug to someone....

- is this the future of the human race - the happy bunch, controlled my medicine so we all are happy and the world is a fantastic place while children die of starvation, we kill thousands in the name of freedom and manipulate the masses to be "happy". The ultimate utopian fascist dream.

From the page: "Researchers from the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine have discovered that a change in the location of a protein in the brain could serve as a biomarker for depression, allowing a simple, rapid, laboratory test to identify patients with depression and to determine whether a particular antidepressant therapy will provide a successful response."
