developing coping strategies and lessening the impact of the condition. If depression is seen as a state of doing, this must be seen as having a higher level of autonomy
with an ability to adapt and change the condition in terms of behaviour and treatment and a possible cure. If the depression is a state of being rather than doing
it would be expected that physical indicators would be present as well as the behavioural patterns. Empirical studies have indicated that those suffering from depression, compulsive obsessive disorders or
prone to aggression all have lower levels of serotonin that normal (Field, 2002). The correlation appears to be well evidenced. However correlation does not indicate causation, although this does appear
to be the dominant paradigm with the indication that depression is a result of the imbalance of serotonin, which may be combined with environmental factors (Field, 2002). This
could indicate an interaction of being and doing, or indicate a predisposition to the doing. To asses this there s a great deal of empirical evidence that looks at
serotonin levels whilst a depression is apparent, but Goldberg (et al, 2002) looks at the levels in the depressed and also where the subject is not displaying depressive behaviour
and were classified as in remission. .The results were in line with former trials, those who were depressed indicated a lower response level when serotonin levels were stimulated, indicating a
