I think it's not the amount of the receptors but the sensitivity that is out of whack.

Ie depressed people have ultra sensitive 5-ht2a and 5-ht1a receptors. SSRI's don't decrease the number of the receptors but instead the affinity for the receptors.

Having too few receptors may be what causes the remaining ones to be ultra sensitive.
