After Covid-19 infection, 12.5% develops post-Covid-syndrome (PCS). Symptoms indicate numerous affected organ systems. After a year, chronic fatigue...

Cork study
Serum was obtained from PASC patients (n = 20) at two time points (4–6 months following infection (T1) and 6–9 months following infection (T2)). All patients had been hospitalized for PCR-proven SARS-CoV-2...
Serotonin reduction in post-acute sequelae of viral infection
Highlights
Long COVID is associated with reduced circulating serotonin levels
Serotonin depletion is driven by viral RNA-induced type I interferons (IFNs)
IFNs reduce serotonin through diminished tryptophan uptake and...

Almost 20% of patients with COVID-19 experience long-term effects, known as...
Study finds first direct evidence of a link between low serotonin and depression
From the Guardian, science correspondent:
Link to the study:
BRAIN SEROTONIN RELEASE IS REDUCED IN PATIENTS WITH DEPRESSION: A [11C]Cimbi-36 PET STUDY WITH A D-AMPHETAMINE CHALLENGE.

The serotonin hypothesis of depression is still influential. We aimed to synthesise and evaluate evidence on whether depression is associated with lowered serotonin concentration or...
Something I have now seen a number of times over the last few months is people who have just been diagnosed talking about how it has been confirmed with a 5HT test. It would seem the healthcare (NHS-based it seems, maybe all from similar or the same place?) involved states this to be some sort...
Moderator note:
Link to @forestglip's excellent summary of what is known, as of August 2026, about the prolactin response to a buspirone challenge in ME/CFS here
See also a Google document where some members are compiling findings and ideas related to prolactin response here.

And a very clear and strong message from Ron Davis that people should not experiment on themselves because he said...
