Simply false
A person is depressed. Clinically depressed. He/she has thoughts of suicide, can't sleep, can't concentrate, has trouble interacting with people and of course feels terrible about themselves and the world. Doctors have pills for this sort of thing now and let's say in this case it's the persons serotonin levels in the brain. The pills adjust the serotonin levels and the person is no longer depressed.
Are you saying that serotonin levels are the same thing as the person's experience of depression. Now that is simply false.
