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.Nope you have to account for the rest of the brain. But the physical effects going on in the brain are no different then the feeling .And no P zombies are nonsense as is Mary's Red Room and the Chinese thought experiment . The mind is a physical process .
Are you saying that serotonin levels are the same thing as the person's experience of depression. Now that is simply false.
