As far as I know, the reasons we desire anti-depressants in so many people, are

(a)a lack of physical exercise (which teaches brain regions to work together), and (b) the use of sugars as a substitute for oxygenation (oxygen causes mild euphoria), and (c) decline in meaningful interpersonal contact (interpersonal relations that require only intuition rather than judgement).

The problem is in testing this theory. You have to wait for the data because it’s impossible to construct it intentionally. (BTW: this is one of the fallacies of positivism that people attach to empiricism: a human-generated test is MORE suspect than a naturally occurring test.)
