A recent review of medical research by J. Moncrieff, et al. in Molecular Psychiatry (Molecular Psychiatry; https://doi.org/10.1038/s41380-022-01661-0) was summarized as follows: “This review suggests that the huge research effort based on the serotonin hypothesis has not produced convincing evidence of a biochemical basis to depression. This is consistent with research on many other biological markers [21]. We suggest it is time to acknowledge that the serotonin theory of depression is not empirically substantiated.” Was that a correct conclusion? Is the medicinal use of SSRIs as anti-depressants misguided?
