I don't believe it comes directly from the sun but, the sun, might help the brain to stimulate the production of it, as said . . .
By Dr. Jonn Matsen
"The first light of dawn stimulates the retina of your eye to make serotonin, which in turn activates your pineal gland, deep within your brain, to make even more serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that acts like an "on" switch to get you up and out into the world. Interestingly, serotonin also gives you confidence and self-esteem, which seems to be in short supply judging by the number of prescriptions for serotonin-increasing medications such as Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, Effexor, etc. Could the high demand for these medications be at least partially due to people not getting up with the sun and into the light of the outdoors?"

No, the serotonin is collected and stored by platelets but not released by them. Serotonin is secreted by Enterochromaffin cells.
Tryptophan is an amino acid that can be converted into serotonin in the body. It is a precursor to serotonin, which means it is used to produce serotonin during the serotonin synthesis process.
Serotonin is soluble in water.
Depression. So all things that come with depression, and what not. A chemical imbalance = bad.
serotonin is the happy hormone .. sex.!!
Prozac (fluoxetine) is an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor). It targets reuptake channels for the neurotransmitter serotonin, preventing serotonin from reentering the presynaptic neurons to be removed from the synaptic cleft, thus forcing an accumulation of serotonin and repeated triggering of the serotonin "signal" in the postsynaptic neurons.
