> They have now idea what causes depression or how AD's sometimes work and everything else associated with mood disorders. We have a long way to go in oder to have appropriate treatment.James here.....
Kind of painting it with broad strokes, aren't we ?
Saying "They have now(sic) idea" is not correct and
ignores all the the research that has been going on
for 50 or more years. We have lots of ideas, theories,
and concepts. We do know some of what AD's do and the effect
on the body.About matching drugs to people, this is mentioned as a posibility
with greater genetic understanding. This will take a while. I don't know
about tests for mental illness. The cause, and therefor something
to test for, is a complex issue. It is not a tit for tat, X=Y thing.
Many systems and processes go into the cause of depression, ect.
There are quite a few new meds in the pipeline. More SNRI's (which is good for me)
and some meds that work thru new pathways.james
