An interesting articly and illistration showing how the various neurotransmitters and the different types of dperession like - mild "neurotic" depression involves mainly seretonin, moderate endrogenous depression involves seretonin and noradrenalin, and severe psychotic depression also involves dopamine.
Lends weight to the throry that severe depression is best hit with a combo of an SSRI and an agent action on noradrenalin (nortriptyline, reboxetine) or noradrenalin and dopamine (bupropion) and why Parnate (which raises all three) mght be the best of all
