I read an article by John M. Grohol, Psy.D. called "Another Brain Fad For Depression?"and I wonder how long this new theory will hold up.  Supposedly, according to scientists, anti-depressants have little to do with the amount of serotonin in the brain.  The drugs work because they help heal our neurons, which have been shrinking and dying. 

I really don't like the sound of this new theory because it sounds just a wee bit like what happens to the brain when you develop Alzheimer's.   As some of you know, both of my parents had Alzheimer's.  Both of them also had depression.  I'm getting more depressed just thinking about this!

I certainly hope John M. Grohol, Psy.D was right when he said, "Neuroscience will one day provide us the “keys to the kingdom” of understanding our brains."  I hope it happens soon!
