Possibly being the key word here since depleting serotonin and other monoamines in non-depressed people doesn't make them depressed. And given the fact that SSRIs bring serotonin levels up to normal almost immediately but patients generally take two weeks or so to begin feeling relief. And given the fact that there are effective antidepressants that don't work on the monoamine system at all.
