Think we have known this for a while. For example Wellbutrin (Bupropion) works well for many people and it doesn’t work on serotonin levels at all. In fact it causes an increase of dopamine uptake in the brain.

Think increasing the dopamine levels causes a variety of changes to complex systems in the brain that are not really fully understood.

SSRi’s also cause changes to underlying systems in the brain that are not as simple as you are “low” on serotonin.

My two cents
