Title says it all. Some antidepressants are more well known for weight gain, some aren’t. What is it about certain formulas and what happens in the body? Do you just get in a happy bubble and stop caring? Or is it more scientific?
In: Biology
I can’t tell you how but I can tell you that antidepressants do not put you in a happy little bubble. At their absolute best, they make you your normal self again.
ELI5: If you are sick, and the doctor gives you medicine, the medicine eventually makes the symptoms stop, right? You start feeling better. But it doesn’t give you super powers, or make you feel amazing (beyond just being happy/relieved you’re no longer sick). Same for an ointment on a cut, painkiller for a headache, etc. They put you back to your “normal,” they don’t make you better-than-normal.
