You can measure metabolic parameters, but you cannot measure depression chemically...One must pick and choose, like pinning the tail on the donkey, to figure out the right cocktail, and then you achieve nothing other than drugging the patient; leaving untreated the underlying spiritual malady.
It takes action (FSTNBLK's technique is successful in practice -- see page 2) to escape depression. Chemicals can successfully make you feel good, but true escape from this mental disorder requires changing your mind (I would imagine this is the aim of pharmaceuticals).
