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

Question

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

Answer 1

I had serotonin syndrome in October of 2020. I slept 20 hours total the entire month and barely ate, and felt like Superman the whole time while I watched my life crumble around me. It was like I was unable to be sad. Even when I knew a normal person would be sad or upset in a situation.

I would choose depression over mania any day of the week.
