He isn't giving you a anything except for his own experience with the article. And I agree. Witticisms don't do anything to help these very real neurochemical issues...
Smart people are always quick to blame neurochemistry and easily dismiss problems at a higher level, even though there is so much evidence that chemistry is only part of the equation. Perhaps the increase in mental issues we see over the last decades is due to people thinking "it must be because of molecules", resulting in patients not making fundamental changes to their lives, and doctors continuing to "hack" the brain with drugs.
Both behavioral therapy and drugs work for neurochemical issues. What I am saying is that no amount of one liners or witty articles are going to help. Hard work or abrasive drugs will. And yes, therapeutics are definitely superior to drugs which often times are not sustainable solutions.
