It is. And by the way, I completely agree with it again. And it's and you know what, that's actually something that that's important to know. But, you know, it's hard for me to actually respond to that specific paper because because I never read it. But Let me let me actually ask you like a quick question first, because we you just mentioned that we can't actually measure serotonin.

Did they do something to measure it? I mean, how do they know that they actually reduce the amount of serotonin in the brain?

Because, you know, if they also measured, you know, some of the metabolites or something like that in the blood, then you can argue the same way that you argue about what I mentioned.

spend let's let's not waste table this one and definitely get really interested to learn about again human medicine the brain is the brain it's similar between dogs and people and cats and other animals now but what I would like to say and that's that's really important

because it's very important for example to know that the name ssris so for people that don't know it's selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors so it sounds like oh yeah it's selective right it's selective for serotonin but in reality it's not that selective we actually have an effect on more than one

and neurotransmitter when we're using those selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors so and by the way there are differences between the different medications so prozac is just one example there are other medications some of them are more selective to serotonin but less selective to noradrenaline and or epinephrine and while others might be more

less selective for serotonin, but more selective to something else. So even and that's another reason that probably those different medications work differently on patients, because it's usually not just one thing that's missing, it's usually or one thing that's not working normally. So for example, maybe if we reduce the serotonin,

So for example, maybe if we reduce the serotonin,
but other things are not affected maybe it might still be able to kind of like function normally and it's kind of like a specific balance that might be between the different things that are going on in the brain again i can't say too much about that specific study but i will say that the brain is such a complicated machine that i don't think that even if we could measure the the levels of

you know, the different neurotransmitters in the brain, I'm not sure that even then we would be able to know if and when specific medications might work better than others.
