Fascinating on one level, deeply disturbing on another. You can't eliminate dysfunction like this, you can only manage it. Depression is and always will be super complex, because it's a non-scientific phenomenon. In particular, there is no reductionist way to define stress. Stress is a cascading phenomena that causes dysfunction across biological, neurological, psychological, and social systems. For this reason it is also manifest to any conscious being in their perceptions and cognition of the world. To eliminate the subjective experience of the depressed person from their feelings may be "functional" in that it manages destructive symptoms. But this is as much a convenience for the doctors, medical system, and governments as it is an "answer" for the depressed person, who is denied any existentially meaningful relationship to their own physical existence. The true sickness is not reflecting on that concept, realizing each patient is different, and there is unlikely to ever be a compelling universal "cure" for depression, as much as some would love it if we could use science to obliterate the human condition.

Hopefully the results of the phase 3 MDMA trial will result in quick FDA approval and removal from schedule 1. The field of neuroscience just got a whole lot more interesting.

I wonder why this person doesn’t clearly say that we now know seroronin depletion and depression are unrelated. Why doesn’t he talk about ketamine treatment-one of the most exciting developments in treatment of suicidal depression?

What are some of the biological treatments? What are their effectiveness? to the primary neurotransmitters involved with depressive disorders? In this video
