Serotonin Has One Job. It Tells Your Brain: Enough.
Not happiness. Enough.
That is not a side effect. That is the whole function.
It is why serotonin was the target when the drug industry went looking for appetite suppressants. Flood it, and the brain stops asking for more.
Your antidepressant floods it. All day. Every day.
That flood is your floor. It stopped the lows. It is still doing that job right now, and it is not the enemy here.
But your brain does not run a separate "enough" for food and another one for her.
It runs one.
That is the ceiling. Underneath it, everything still works. What went quiet is the wanting.
Wanting runs on dopamine. Serotonin presses down on it. Raise one and you cap the other.
Nothing is broken. Something is capped.
