how can a pill make you non-depressed...???

By altering your hormones?

They newer ones work by blocking the re-uptake of serotonin. No uptake=more available=no/less depression

Supposedly.

"In the 60's people took acid to make the world weird. Now that the world
is weird, people take prozac to make it normal."

Sad but true.

You're opening the door to a dark area of my graduate school career, you know. Neuropharmacology is some wild stuff, dealing with how certain neurotransmitters and blocking agents can affect the brain and central nervous system chemistry.

To put the specific question in another light, essentially there are theories of how molecular/biological imbalances can cause or contribute to depressive states. For comparison in the opposite direction, say you go bungee jumping -- you'd be so rushed on endorphins afterwards that you won't be able to help but feel a sense of well-being.

Most anti-depressants either block neuron receptors to prevent uptake of depression-inducing brain molecules, intercept certain molecules that are suspected to cause more depression, or jack up levels of other molecules that are more like endorphins.

Wow Swag,you're not only the mod.Good work
BTW,did you ever try the effects of endorphins by bungee jumping?Man I would never try to jump from over there.

Btw, good stuff, Jeeks. I would propose a corollary to this theory, however:

"In the 60's people took acid to experience more of the world. Now people take prozac to experience less of it."
