Brain Chemistry
Suffering from bouts of sadness, grief, or emotional upset can truly take a toll on your everyday life. What many do not realize is that these feelings are directly involved with the balance of brain chemistry. When brain chemistry is imbalanced, external and internal traffic are often misinterpreted and can become overwhelming and uncomfortable. Over time, an imbalance in brain chemistry results in poor self esteem, feelings of hopelessness, helplessness, and being overwhelmed with pessimism and despair.
What are Neurotransmitters and why are they Important?
Neurotransmitters are chemicals that transmit nerve impulses across a synapse, allowing the movement of information. There are three major neurotransmitters in the brain (Serotonin, Dopamine and Norepinephrine) which must be in the correct balance to allow a positive, stable self-image and optimistic mood. However, when these neurotransmitters are in an unbalanced state with one another mood changes are inevitable. In general, when serotonin levels drop sadness can quickly settle in. When serotonin levels rise a happy contented mood generally results.
