Chemicals

Chemicals are critical as building blocks of the body - nutrients. 
When looking at using chemicals (medications) for intervention, we have a number of successes in relatively simple systems where the body isn't producing enough of a single chemical and we enhance/ replace the body's production - example: insulin
When the system becomes more complex, say happiness with 4 hormones interacting, chemical interventions seem to also be more complex to achieve and keep an experience that is desirable.
