Many doctors will purscribe SSRIs and SNRIs to treat serotonin deficiency but it is not a cure, just a bandaid and a poor one at that.
People with criticaly low serotonin levels are unable to benefit from the effects of SSRIs and SNRIs simply due to the brain's own inability to trigger the release of serotonin in any meaningful ammounts without outside stimulis (in my case due to heavy drug abuse in my youth).
