Take what I say with a grain of salt....the whole thing is extremely complex, and looking at a tiny fragment of the complex system may distort what we see.....
The 5-HT2c receptor downregulates dopaminergic and histaminergic neurons. Disturbances in 5-HT2c sensitivity or structural defects are associated both with OCD, and suicidal depression. By an unknown mechanism, 5-HT2c also regulates appetite, and has been associated with both anorexia and obesity.
