D'oh! I answered your earlier post about Julia Ross before discovering that you already found her. Aside from identifying which neurotransmitters you might be lacking, her book also talks about other possible causes of depression that I think people often overlook. So if you think you might have thyroid problems, for instance, you might want to look at that section too. (By the way, I also like the look inside the book feature at amazon and use it a lot. Google books is good for that too.)
If you found the Ross book interesting, you might also want to browse through "The Ultramind Solution" by Mark Harmon. (Another book with a title that turned me off, but which actually contained a ton of interesting stuff.) If you like quizzes, there are a whole bunch in that one. In addition to the neurotransmitters, there are ones for methylation, inflammation, heavy metal toxicity, adrenals, thyroid, sex hormones, hypoglycemia, vitamin D, magnesium, zinc, fatty acids, I can't remember what else.
