If we can make Melatonin pills to help us sleep, why can’t we make Seratonin pills to make us happy?

I take Melatonin most nights to sleep better. Sure would love to have a serotonin pill as well.

It’s called mdma. Turns out it’s not so healthy being constantly that happy is pretty bad for your brain. Constantly flooding your brain with reward chemicals eventually leads to desensitisation towards serotonin

But it is also more complicated than that. Even though serotonin plays a role in feeling happy it doesn’t do that entirely alone and scientists still haven’t figured it out yet otherwise we would have better antidepressants. Even they do not make you happy. They cause a buildup of serotonin, which in theory should make you happy buy it doesn’t.
