If chemicals like oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin are so crucial to our mental health, why can’t we monitor them the same way diabetics monitor insulin?

My psychiatrist told me the seretonin/dopamine theory has been falling out of favor within the scientific community. The brain is much more complex than a few chemicals. I think depression has more to do with your mental state, memories, beliefs etc. and giving someone seretonin doesn’t fix those problems. SSRIs don’t work for a good majority of people that are prescribed them btw.
