However...
- This research study does not establish a cause-effect relationship; so it is difficult to know whether the levels of serotonin caused the depression or whether depression alters the level of neurotransmitters.
Antidepressants
- Increases the levels of noradrenaline and seretonin to alleviate the symptoms of depression, this supports the influence of biochemical's on mood.
Treatment Aetiology Fallacy
- Mistaken idea that the success of treatment reveals the cause of the disorder.
- If antidepressants work, it doesn't mean that unipolar is caused by the lack of seretonin.
Lag Tim Effects
- Antidepressents increase levels of brain chemicals immediately but not depression.
