Serotonin deficiency is usually marked with random bouts of anger moreso than depression. Dopamine is more associated with depression.
I’ve seen firsthand MDMA abuse and it usually manifests as random intense rage seemingly out of nowhere. As well as anxiety and an inability to deal with normal life problems. Memory is also majorly impacted. Depression doesn’t come until later on in deeper stages of abuse, likely because at that point dopamine is being effected.
This is why MDMA abuse is so sneaky, it can be hard to see until it’s too late.
