There is good evidence regarding the effects of serotonin levels on happiness. I've seen many people who enjoy munching too many recreational drugs lapse into depression through serotonin exhaustion, and be helped by SSRIs.

The point I was trying to make though, is that there is a big gap between apathy for a reason, and clinical depression, even if the symptoms point to a diagnosis. I've been asked by someone (who happened to be a psychotherapist) if I was going through some depression because all I wanted to do was sit on the couch in my underwear, drink beer and play playstation.

The fact that that is perfectly normal holiday behaviour for me overrides any clinical diagnoses. So no, Kroney, I wasn't suggesting you are depressed or need help but rather that you're probably on the verge of really getting 'into' something, and a little inspiration is all that is needed.
