No, I dont think it has anything to do with Prozac...I think it is a conditioned response. Here's an anecdote for you. When I first moved out here to California some 14 years ago, I was annoyed by everybody saying "Great" as a response to just about anything. One day, my then employer asked me how I was. He expected me to say, "good" or something else positive. Actually I said, "Not very well". He responded, "Great".
So, I suspect many people respond with "Happy", "Good", (or in California) "Great" very perfunctorily.
Why is that?
