Serotonin is the hormone of happiness,
That is, serotonin is called_chemical_chemical.
It is a very important neurotransmitter, it is made in the intestine, the protein we eat contains an essential amino acid #Tryptophan. Trytophan is found in eggs, meat, fish, pulses, etc., protein foods go into the intestine and break down to make tryptophan. This tryptophan is again # VitaminB1. (#Thiamine) #Folic_Acid #Vitamine_B12 #Zinc etc make serotonine, 90% of the total serotonine in the body is made in the intestine.
Serotoine is working
1. #Digestion controlled. Serotonine, normal peristalsis through contraction of the gut wall
Maintains Bowel habit.
2. Circulatory serotoin is working
Transmission from Nerve signal periphery to Central. By stimulating the hypothalamus, serotonine acts as a mood stabilizer chemical in our body. This serotonin regulates our peace of mind.
This serotonin, along with dopamine, plays an important role in maintaining a balanced state of mind during any distress by controlling emotional feelings. Just as immunoglobulins act as a defense mechanism against every foreign particle in the body, serotonin plays a role in maintaining the defense mechanism to protect our mental state from external depression, depression, etc.
As circulatory serotonin levels decrease, digestion capacity decreases, because one of the main functions of serotonin is to help digestion, so when serotonin levels decrease
Digestion will decrease, and Irritable bowel syndrome will appear. This can cause diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, etc.
The effects of the stress hormone cortisol reduce the amount of serotonin, so mental depression, depression, etc. are seen. So depressing
Patients or mood disorders
Patients are given SSRI in treatment, which increases the amount of circulatory serotonine.
Since the normal amount of serotonin is in a state of emotional well-being,
That is why it is called #happy_chemical.
And since it helps in digestion, and since the amount of serotonin decreases during depression, digestion does not go well during depression, bowel habit changes, diarrhea, constipation occurs.
Because of this, those who are depressed, as their serotonin levels are low, so their Associate symptoms are Anorexia, Diarrhoea, constipation.
Another important function of serotonin is that adequate amounts of serotonin regulate the normal sleeping pattern. And helps to wake up in the morning. And when serotonin levels drop, insomnia develops, and waking up in the morning
The problem is that depression patients have lower levels of serotonin, so they do not sleep at night, have insomnia, and in the morning.
Their sleep increases. So are insomnia patients
SSRI is given for management.
SSRI drugs are given when serotonin levels are low, but SSRIs can cause serotonin levels to rise above normal, then again
Serotonine syndrome may occur. So
SSRI will look at the condition of the patient while prescribing, sexual dysfunction due to serotonin syndrome occurs. So to maintain a balance between depression and serotonin all the time
Stress-free, and serotonin-saturated foods
Eat more foods that naturally increase serotonine synthesis, will protect you from serotonine syndrome.
