If you're concerned you may be suffering from depression, first remember that depression is an issue of brain health, not of morality. Many people who suffer from depression actually have low serotonin levels. So how do you know if you have low serotonin? In this chat, Dr. Daniel Amen gives you 18 signs that you have low serotonin in your body and then gives you some strategies to begin to boost that serotonin back up so you can feel better.
In addition to the brain systems that play crucial roles in happiness, there are important neurochemicals that influence your level of joy because they are involved in mood, motivation, and learning, and that’s the short list. Neurotransmitters are the molecules used by the nervous system to transmit messages between neurons or from neurons to target cells in muscles, glands, or other nerves. Since these chemical messengers communicate information between the brain and our bodies, they are incredibly important to good health. Neurotransmitters are the chemical messengers that stimulate or inhibit nearby cells.

@lee maxsonwe can't stop thinking but it's the reacting to negative thoughts that causes all suffering. Just practice being aware of what you are thinking and don't give any attention to negativity and eventually those thoughts loose all their power.

I felt like a million bucks when I was eating right, counting macros, working out at the gym and in the best shape of my life. I got injured from an accident last year. I stopped working out, starting eating bad again, gained some weight and my anxiety/depression (PTSD) went through the roof. In fact it has been debilitating. I am currently working on getting back on track. Right diet and exercise is so important when you have mental health issues. I have learned that the painful way. Great video and information. I would love to have my brain scanned one day.

I agree, with depression being sedentary and eating pre-made food, made things worse for me also, but now I started eating more fresh vegetables and cooked more, I slowly feel good effects to my mental health. It's still an effort to cook healthy but I try.

@g quin While i understand your point, I also think that differemt people perceive sharing in different ways. I think its ok for the doctor to share his state of mind. He is going through bereavement too so he is working on himself too as he tries to help. I didnt think badly of it at all. But yes, perhaps its not so positive for others.

I'm experiencing 14 out of 18. Had too much to deal with, too much stress for quite a long time. I'm out of much of it but left with all these/depression/life not fullfilling, no enjoyment, fed up with everything, everything hard work, sometimes not wanting to get out of bed, plus other symptoms, delibitating ruminating being the worst/hamster on a treadmill, especially in the evening & bed time. Spoke with my GP today & as well as self help, excercise, good diet, GP prescribed me antidepresants as it was deemed right that my serotonin levels must be very very low.

Probable solutions : Aerobic exercise, recalling positive memories, meditation, supplements like Tryptophan or 5 HTP, Magnesium, B complex, Vitamin D or sunlight exposure, Threonine or Glycine (supplements in order of importance in my experience) I had chronic anxiety and almost all symptoms of low serotonin. I remedied it first by supplementing with Mg & B complex, although now I take all the above and many more.

Oh my god. This totally works. Tried this with my daughter today. “No, you can’t go with us for a weekend getaway. You’re right. You need to be in the city.” To which she said, “ well do they have reliable, high speed wifi there?” Nope, probably not. People are looking to relax. Not reliable nor high speed likely. “I actually disagree with that.” And then she proceeded to argue about why they WOULD have good wifi.” I said “you answered your own question then” And she put a check mark on my text. Lol. And we didn’t lose thousands for a non cancellable 4 day weekend for 3. Try this! So much better than arguing with someone who has low serotonin and the resulting rigidity- through no fault of their own.

Nutritional yeast has all the B vitamins, except B12, and it has been a life saver for me. B vitamins especially B1 are very neural protective, but because they are water soluble they need to be replenished regularly. B vitamins are also produced by your gut biome so if you have gut issues you are probably deficient. I also supplement with Benfotamine which is a fat soluble version of B1.

I had to cut my tryptophan/5-htp treatment because of shipping. I suddenly felt the effects... I went down and had no enthusiasm, my capacity for imagination was totally inclined to negativity and no window of positivity could lift me up. I could only talk myself out of sadness... but in no way I would feel the normal enthusiasm and joy for the good things. It just became an impossible task. I cannot wait for my supplements to arrive!!

@clevername8832 3 года назад

I hope your supplements got to you. I really understand what you're saying especially about even lacking imagination and talking yourself out of sadness but never feeling out of it. I struggle with addiction, methadone treatment and too much pot smoke. I'm on prozac among things and I feel that my pleasure system is completely out of order but I'm not sure if it's serotonin or dopamine or what. I lean towards dopamine though because I experience more anhedonia like than OCD.

low serotonin effects men and women completely differently. it’s more of a warrior effect in men and more of a worrier effect in women.

@alondraacosta-mora6504 3 года назад

what u mean warrior and worrier?

@dannac_8888 Месяц назад

men become primarily OPPOSITIONAL, COMBATIVE, ANGRY, debating, pick fights for the dopamine, endorphin, adrenal hit which is a cheap high and poor solution. Women can be oppositional and rigid too, but they can magnify more of the self conscious body awareness, insecurity of sociallly fitting in, being pretty enough, smart enough, attractive enough kind of obsessive, thought loops that can mimic vanity and self absorption but it's actually low seratonin.

@bubblerings 3 года назад

If you have low Dopamine... Mucuna Pruriens capsules are a good start. I used them to get off of caffeine... and they make me warmer during sleep, as well. I used to feel hungover nearly every morning without drinking! My morning Brain is also working better than last thirty years. - I feel better EVERY morning, now. I started with the 15% L-Dopa capsules twice a day. If you get too restless or agitated, take less or none. (You should NOT be on MAOI inhibitors like many antidpressants... ask your doctor, if on meds) Good luck. For me, this is better than Any adrenal support I have ever taken... supports neurotransmitters and adrenaline, etc. No more burnout. (Now I can see what my other problems are... with a clearer brain.)
