A doctor prescribes him an antidepressant, the serotonin of the title

I'm not an expert, but this line seems wrong to me: serotonin is a neurotransmitter, not an antidepressant: the lattest (in Houellebecq's book the fictitious Captorix) is supposed to increase the serotonine level in the body. --WikiBathor (talk) 08:28, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, WikiBathor. Well spotted, and thank you. It's partly my fault. I'd originally written, "A doctor prescribes him an antidepressant, hence the serotonin of the title", which is a bit ambiguous, leading someone to change it afterwards. Your eye is good, you should feel free to be bold. Meticulo (talk) 12:16, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
