I remember reading somewhere on pubmed how zyprexa turned on/up certain genes, and simultaneously turned off/down others. So I think the idea that genes are involved in depression is highly consistent and true. In some cases it may be what the drug is doing to the genes is more important than what the drug is doing to the neurotransmitters. And that's why I sometimes think it is important to think outside the box, try stuff that maybe doesn't make sense, because there is just so much we don't know. If we wait until we do know, we'll be long gone by then.
