SEROTONIN:

(SER·O·TO·NIN)

SEROTONIN IS THE KEY NEUROTRANSMITTER THAT STABILIZES OUR MOOD, FEELINGS OF WELL-BEING, AND HAPPINESS. THIS NEUROTRANSMITTER IMPACTS YOUR ENTIRE BODY. IT ENABLES BRAIN CELLS AND OTHER NERVOUS SYSTEM CELLS TO COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER. LOW LEVELS OF SEROTONIN ARE ASSOCIATED WITH DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, AND POOR SLEEP. SSRI’S (SELECTIVE SEROTONIN REUPTAKE INHIBITORS) ARE THE MOST COMMONLY PRESCRIBED ANTIDEPRESSANT.
