however severe cases are caused by neural synapses being blocked, and Prozac does indeed help with those

Can you provide me with a reference to back up your claim?
The 5-HT/depression theory is based on subjects with lowered levels of 5HIAA. An SSRI is thought to increase synaptic serotonin, but if this is true, why do they cause receptor loss? Why should this help? 5HIAA levels are still low with Prozac (not like 5HIAA levels definitely mean one single thing). There is also no set standard of neurotransmitter levels (specifically for mood).
But, maybe I'm wrong. Show me some references. I don't really want to argue, but if you know of studies that can provide more information for me I would be happy to learn.
