but yeah, it always amazed me how quickly the Prozac industry took off in the mid-90's ... one minute people were just 'depressed', and then a few years later, millions upon millions of people were on pills.
I think mental issues are always going to show up as physiologically altered conditions (yes, physically measurable chemical changes), but the resolution is not in changing the chemistry, its in changing the mind/attitudes which will then reflect as more healthy chemistry later down the track.
whenever I suffered from periodic blues/depression for a period during college, it was definitely linked to circumstances and my response to them. Ie, there was causation and reactivity. And even then, I found ways to work with those 'moods'.
