How Prozac works- brief animation

This is a gross oversimplification of the process, it doesn't show the complete picture of the mechanisms of Prozac (keep that in mind) but it's just meant to get across a general idea.
Used Maya and Adobe After Effects.
Final project for my intro to animation class.

Also, the project was only supposed to be 20 seconds long...and mine is almost 30. That's why it goes by so fast

@DeathIzurfriend It is similar in some ways but i believe cocaine is also a mild release, meaning it will release a little dopamine, not just block the re uptake. Also the amount of blockage you would receive from cocaine can't compared to SSRI's, thats why you get instant euphoria with coke. As with SSRI's it takes around a month to feel any difference

Simple and easy to get, even for a child. Altough I really hope children won't be needing it yet.

I can use telepathy, I am maybe the only person that can use telepathy all the time , send

and receive voice and video on distance of few kilometer. It works all the time and 100% correct.

I think it is important for science and human kind to make research on my brain and find out how this works.

My telepathy manifest itself exact like "Schneider's first-rank symptoms".

So instead of the serotonin going back into "storage," so to speak, it has nowhere to go and is forced back into the receptors?
