The point I was trying to make isn’t about happiness or sadness per se, rather they depression has mental analogs that presumably are improved after treatment.

- carabiner 3y agoIt doesn't need analogs. Depression is mental. Legitimately what dialogue are you attempting to start?

- mtlmtlmtlmtl 3y agoI think the more accurate way to conceptualise this is that treatment works by interfering with processes in the brain that cause depression, not that it cancels out the depression by adding enough euphoria/mania/happyness to compensate. Antidepressants don't typically cause mania in healthy people, but they could paradoxically cause depression.
- endisneigh 3y agoI was referring more to the article in the OP that “reverses bad signals”.
