Linkadge,
I couldn't agree more with everything you have said. The only thing is the drug that did all those things you mentioned as below is the drug that I had at the age of 24 which was Prothiaden and then later on at the age of 27 (which was 20mg of Seroxat). Those drugs did for me then exactly as you describe below. For some reason they just don't work like that for me anymore. So the SSRIs and tricyclics do have the potential to completely eradicate depression they just don't seem to be as effective (for everyone) later on for some reason.
I'm still following the DBS trials closely, I've pretty much given up on drugs being the whole answer for me and I'm pinning my hopes on surgery such as this.
> Imagine a drug that completely and rapidly relieves depression - in a way where the patient can still experience deep emotion and true joy. A drug that restores deep restful sleep and effective, nonsedating relief of innapropriate anxiety. A drug that restores interest in everday activities without clouding the intellect. A drug that restores proper immune and endocrine function and effectively combats many of the dozens of the depression comorbid health conditions (diabetes, heart disease etc).
