Is it that people "feel the need" to take anti-depressives, or is it that now people can afford the expense of psychiatrist and pills, which health insurance probably won't cover? In "Listening to Prozac," psychiatrist Dr. Peter Kramer observed a couple of interesting things. When taken by people without serious depression, Prozac can cause remarkable personality transformations, giving people greater self-confidence, making people less sensitive to social rejection, and giving them a greater willingness to take risks. It frequently causes "hypomania", a mild euphoric state which is commonly found in high achievers. Bottom line, anti-depressants do make people feel good. Interesting to speculate whether there really is a "Prozac effect" in the stock market.
