This is a scary, scary article indeed and it almost makes me wanna go to the "I don't want to live in this world anymore" place. (worry not, I had these thoughts when watching Friday by Rebeca Black). There is yet no test to prove if depression is chemical (and seriously, not all depression is chemical... some of us are depressed because... oh well, we are in place place objectivelly and would be more scary if we were not down). And yet we insist on better living through chemistry. I cannot be the only one whom this reminds of Brave New World and their soma?

there is never gonna be magic pill. Unless they materialize soma and than deitities protect us... Happy in short term? Life does not work that way. And I just don't think Buddhists got it all wrong... Life is a struggle.

And I still think inner peace is better than hard to define "happy". And one has to come to inner peace themselves. One can give you map... but they cannot hold your hand and lead you there. We need to live our lives for ourselves. Maybe once we accept this... we will be less miserable.
