Do neurotransmitter deficiencies cause disorders, or vice versa?
Post Body
I have only found correlative data between disorders like depression and ADHD, and deficiencies in neurotransmitters in areas of the brain. Are there any studies that show which causes which? Eg. Does a person being sad cause a deficiency of serotonin and dopamine, or is it the lack of serotonin and dopamine causing sadness. I think it would be interesting to see the effects of therapy alone on neurotransmitters in people with related disorders.
