But what makes you think that happy people just have lots more of the neurotransmitter Serotonin, Dopamine etc, what makes you think it's that simple??
I think really the problem is not about coming up with more powerful drugs it's about the scientific world coming up with a better understanding of what the biological/physiological causes really are. I'm no longer content just to keep substituting stronger pills when the previous ones stop working without wanting to know what the fundamental problems are.
Like having a car with a faulty engine, you don't just keep topping the oil to compensate you find out what's wrong with the engine itself and fix that and I think there needs to be a lot more research on this.
To be honest I'm scared, I'm almost 40 and two years ago, I felt like I was ready to die (without an obvious reason why) and I'm scared what I'll be like when I'm 60 but hopefully I'll just no longer be here.
