To continue....

No one has proven scientifically "how" antidepressants work. What they DO is to increase the availability of certain chemical known as "neurotransmitters" to the cells in the brain.

After years of using them, I believe that ADs DO NOT provide "false happiness", but rather help alleviate the "false sadness" that accompanies certain brain disorders, among them clinical depression and bipolar disorder.

Do a Google search on antipressants, you'll find way more than you'll ever want to know!
