Good question.
Serotonin is just one of the very very many chemicals produced in the brain and that we have actually identified. The role that it actually plays in depression is very poorly understood because if it's just one of the chemicals found in the brain that we know about, we can not correctly state that it is a contributing factor in various mood shifts. We don't know and don't understand what the other chemicals are doing and how they play in mood.
Personally speaking, when I was very deeply depressed, during a time when my dad was having a quad bipass surgery and was cut neck to toe, I found that the effects, for me, of taking Zoloft helped me a lot. Zoloft is a serotonin reuptake inhibitor, meaning any addition serotonin in the synapsis -the area between two brain nerve cells, is not taken up by the receptors, increasing concentration of serotonin in the synaps. For me, the side effects were not huge, just some nausia and upset stomach, but the results were happiness and elation.
Are you thinking about taking it?
DON'T
Social therapy works better.

I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

It makes you happy. MDMA releases so much of it as to feel like a 6 hour orgasm.

What are you trying to say?
That the types who are more likely to take risk might have lower level or serotonin?
Human brain doesn't work that way. Throughout history we have seen huge risk takers get or make rewards at the risk of other costs, so it's relative.

No I'm just putting some info out there on serotonin, I find it fascinating.
You're being defensive because you've taken re-uptake inhibitors and feel this video classifies you as being innately lower on the social pyramid. Which I wouldn't be so neurotic about, its just a study and rather primative in scope.
I think once people are better able to understand neuroscience and psychology, that we will actually be able to strategically use medications to help people.
I don't think the way people medicate others currently for problems is done intelligently enough.
