Click the provided link, though. It's bad. The biggest warning sign is that it pitches a serotonin-deficiency model as standard and claims mainstream doctors are "breaking ranks" to oppose it. That's absurd. Knowledgeable doctors don't claim serotonin deficiency causes depression, only that SSRIs can help address depression. The serotonin-deficit hypothesis was advanced because SSRIs treated depression, and discarded when depressed patients proved not to have lowered serotonin levels. Brogan is pretending serotonin deficiency is a crumbling conspiracy, when it's actually a tested-and-discarded hypothesis. I don't especially object to the pull quote about alcoholism. It's a standard clinical observation that antidepressants don't treat simple serotonin shortages, and work equally well on 'clinical' depression and 'normal' depression like the loss of a loved one. I just object to implying that this isn't commonly recognized.
