The feeling of happiness, satisfaction and mood stability are signs of stable serotonin levels, a hormone that is also classified as a neurotransmitter, which sends or transmits nerve impulses to the brain. Serotonin plays a major role in mood disorders, especially depression. When the balance of neurotransmitters, specifically serotonin, is altered, it will affect mood. The lower the level of serotonin in the brain, the greater the risk is for developing a depressive disorder.
Serotonin is necessary for the regulation of many functions within the body, and when you do not have enough of it you can develop serotonin deficiency syndrome, which brings with it several symptoms. Symptoms of low serotonin levels include depression, insomnia, anxiety, negative thinking, obesity, pain and migraine headaches.
Symptoms of normal serotonin level in the brain include:
- Mood stability
- Feeling happy and satisfied
- Prevention of headaches
- Anxiety control
- Prevention of premenstrual syndrome
- Regular and comfortable sleep
- Healthy sex drive
