Hey.
Depression is just when you've felt really down for a long time. You don't enjoy things that you used to find fun. You don't feel like going out or talking to people. It's slightly different for every one, but i'm sure you're doctor explained what it is to you.
Serotonin is a chemical in your brain that makes you feel happy. What prozac does, is stop the serotonin from going away.
This link is a blog from a girl who experienced depression and was prescribed prozac. She explains it's effect on her life.
