>I'm quite concerned that the first resort to treatment is medication, rather than optimization of whatever natural capacity the individual may have. To characterize the distinction more fully, the individual may have an innate functional deficiency in serotonin, possibly remedied by tryptophan enhancement. You could reasonably call the defect a functional deficiency in tryptophan (i.e. despite normal diet, insufficient tryptophan is available to optimize tryptophan hydroxylase activity). I doubt they have an SSRI deficiency
