Using pills to solve a moral problem is as ineffective and illogical as using food to solve sadness.

What do you mean by "a moral problem"?

Psilocibin can be found in mushrooms. And Turmeric has been shown to treat depression reasonably effectively. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28236605 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28236605

You think having depression is a moral failure? Do you know, or perhaps even love, someone with clinical depression? I do; we've been married more then 20 years, so I see it up close every day. It isn't a problem of morals or character. To see her suffering and struggle daily and to have some internet expert claim she has a moral deficit is more than a little aggravating. Something has gone wrong in the control loops that keep her a healthy balance point. The brain/body connection is real, not some new age woo.

  Having depression is not a moral failure. But often it is caused by a lack of knowing how to handle moral dilemmas properly. The brain is just a conduit for the soul and this connection is called the mind.

    > The brain is just a conduit for the soul OK, you are arguing a religious belief, and are ignoring the measurable biochemical anomalies in my wife's physical body. Please list some of these moral dilemmas that my wife is unable to handle that caused this condition, and why I should discount the decades of chronic pain caused by a genetic problem (EDS), the wrestling match with cancer, the familial disposition towards depression, the debilitating effects of living in a house affected by black mold, etc.

      Cause and effect goes much deeper than atoms.

        I look forward to your Nobel Prize establishing this.

        It's not that it's unproved, it's that people aren't interested in hearing the proof, because it would mean they would have to change. If you are interested in explanations, watch a couple of Fulton Sheen episodes linked to from https://sdegutis.github.io https://sdegutis.github.io especially within the Family Retreat series or the Catechism series.
