...says British academic Moncrieff: "I believe that human emotions will never be located in a simple biochemical formula." The chemical-imbalance theory is nonsense, says Adelaide psychiatrist Jureidini. SSRIs alter a patient's serotonin levels within days, he says, but their antidepressant effect - if there is any - doesn't occur for several weeks. "The idea that there's a serotonin deficiency that explains depression is such a gross oversimplification as to be completely misleading," Jureidini says. "A lot of doctors and others are prone to wishful thinking. It'd be nice if this was all scientific and we could give...
...Severe depression does occur in adolescents, and there's a risk of suicide in these cases, says the Institute of Psychiatry's Newman. But she suspects doctors are overprescribing antidepressants across the board. "It's important they distinguish between normal sadness and clinical depression," she says.

After arriving in Bangkok, the patient has about 250 cc of blood drawn - less than a standard blood donation. This is sent to the company's laboratory in Israel, where stem cells that occur naturally in the blood are isolated and multiplied through a patented process. A week later, a batch of several million stem cells is returned to Bangkok. These are inserted by surgeons into the patient's arteries or heart, using procedures that Patel helped to develop in the U.S. Patel says...
