Let’s be honest….like anaesthetics, we have no fucking clue why ssri’s work. Or anti psychotics.

Maoi’s were found by accident when they gave them to tuberculosis patients and instead of helping them vreathe it made them super cheerful and happy.

As the article states more clearly than I, adding drugs THEN measuring the outcome is NOT how you do science.
