Reply to comment by km89 in Psychedelics activate the same receptors as serotonin, so why aren't we always tripping? Psychedelics may cause neuronal plasticity and relieve depression by activating intracellular serotonin receptors that serotonin itself cannot, suggests a new study. by rjmsci

We don’t fully know. But some research has gone into looking at serotonin boosting Neuro plasticity with conventional anti depressants triggering the 5HT1A. Unfortunately checking mechanisms deep in the brain are very difficult to do but if your interested in that side I would consider reading some articles on the Neuro plasticity hypothesis of depression
