What is your leading hypothesis?
Dopamine hypothesis in general but recent neuroimaging and success w/ other meds indicate changes in GABA and 5HT that may have a significant impact on the "schizophrenic" type depression and related anxiety and OCD traits.
What piece of missing evidence would help prove it?
More polypharmacy studies using some of SSNRI's in combination w/ anti-pschotic meds (eg: aripriprisole)
