Reuptake inhibition happens almost at once after taking an AD. If that fixed mood we would see a change at once. It seems by changing one thing (reuptake) we cause the system to seek a new level. This is what takes so long.
Given the comlpexity of mood and the CNS (or just NS) it is unreasonable to think any change would happen quickly. Or to look at it another way,
till we understand the comlpex process we will not have more specific agents that work quickly.Or another way to look at it is the one does not get depressed at once so it is unreasonable to expect recovery to be quick.
