The same thing goes for schizophrenia. The idea that schizophrenia is due to too much d2 activation is interesting but not conclusive.

In addition, the drugs' usage can lead to increased number of d2 receptors and a loss of effect accompanied by rebound psychosis upon withdrawl. So it is evident that they are not fixing the problem. It would be more satisfying to actually cure schizophrenia.

How does that relate to drug use overall? If there is evidence to suggest that an antidepressant will only work for a certain period of time, and lead to subsequent dependance and significant withdrawl, in addition to only providing symptomatic improvement for a disease that often remits on its own has made some people carefully consider all treatment options.
