I once heard subatomic physics described as smashing Swiss watches together at a bazillion miles per hour, and trying to figure out the structure of the original watches from examining the pieces.

The human brain/mind is the most complex structure in the known universe. Psychoactive drugs are basically blunt instruments - you can choose (roughly) where to hit (which drug to use), and how hard to hit (dosage level) but in the end, they're still blunt instruments.

That said, there have been some notable successes with psychiatric drug therapies, but in many, if not most cases, investigators would be the first to admit they don't fully, or at all, understand how the drugs work.

Now throw in multi-drug interactions - hilarity is bound to ensue (not).
