Serotonin

Serotonin is a chemical compound that functions as a neurotransmitter and biological signal, participating in, among others: in regulating mood, sleep, appetite and body processes.

Definicja

Serotonin is sometimes incorrectly called a simple "happiness hormone". In fact, it works in and outside the brain, including: in the digestive system and blood, and its role depends on the receptors, place of action and context of the body. Mood should not be reduced to one neurotransmitter.

Praktyka i życie

If you're working on mood, look beyond just one chemical: sleep, exercise, relationships, stress, diet and treatment if needed.

Częste błędne rozumienie

It is a mistake to think that serotonin alone explains happiness or depression. It is also a mistake to manipulate medications or supplements on your own without consulting them.
