Nobody knows exactly how antidepressants work. Sure, they increase serotonin. But they do that within an hour of using them. Problem is, it takes weeks for it to have an "effect". They probably do 5000 different things in the body...
For some people, antidepressants might just actually modify/change bodily function. Like blood sugar, etc. And these corresponding physical changes result in a changed mental state.
So, in some ways, antidepressants don't exactly make someone happy for no reason... they just make you feel better, so happiness comes easier.
I have been on different anti-depressants. I found that Paxil worked well. I could smoke the purest sativas and not have any paranoia or anything. To me, paxil reminds me of the sort of feeling I get from tobacco... and also from Panax Ginseng. They all sort of calm me down and give me more energy at the same time. My thoery is they all rebalance my blood sugar.
I think it will be along time before we really know exactly what causes all types of depression. Some of it is caused by things in your life that you need to change. But some of it is also caused by physical issues, which is one way pills can help. But to me, the idea of taking pills is not new. Humanity has been using plants since we have existed. Even animals do. Its just now, we have engineered our own "plants" so to speak, in the form of pills.
