It's been known for a long time that serotonin is associated with social dominance and that drugs like the SSRI prevent and somewhat heal the brain damage that comes from being "an underdog". There is a long running question about "Why are poor people so fucked up?" that mainly answered by "being poor damages your brain".

It's an inconvenient truth because the Rx is revolution.
