ssri drugs block serotonin from being reabsorbed in the brain. This keeps it around longer but does not increase serotonin. I dont know about long term effects but ssri’s are drugs and they perform actions in your body that don’t happen naturally. Serotonin is a powerful neurotransmitter and messing with its processes in the brain doesn’t seem healthy one bit to me.
