Also greatly effects are the hormones that are from adrenals, norepinephrine.. Remember to remind care of side effects for supplements and espec if someone is already taking meds. There can be an excess of seretonin in the body. Have tried 5HTP and then experienced heart palpitaions and anziety (50mg). I was told this week low in acetylcholine due to low Mn and low dopanime as anemic in iron that is needed to create dopamine , though enough tyrosine . My son tried fish oils 2 years ago and in 2 days he was his self, and color came back, energy... Wonder if I have excess GABA as well? Thank you for the info Hello,

It must serve him well and now I see for more reasons than previously thought. I am working on a book right now about the chemical ways that the Food Industry manipulates the brain and eating patterns. Fascinating look at the research, I hope the author figures out how to defeat the Industry! Found you through Writer Dad - glad I came on over.

Usually I get them through stumble where I can stumble and review them but when I didn't get any for awhile I decided to hunt you down. :) So Glad I did. I've been printing out a couple of these articles and giving them to a friend to read who has been looking into all this brain "stuff". He was really please and excited to read your posts and said it was some of the best info he'd seen. I think what makes your articles so good is that they are not only highly informative but also laid out very clearly and simply so that the lay person can understand what is going on with the brain. I love when someone does that. So I thank you SO much. I also have to learn to understand what RSS means and how to use it. I know everyone does. I've been on the computer for ages and I never subscribe to anyone's RSS as I don't even know what that is or how it works. LOL!! And yet I do HTML code and other things. Aaah, must be selective learning. :) Anyway, Thank you my friend and if you are still on stumble please send me any of your pages. So enjoy them. You are really helping a lot of people. More than you might think. Hi Dear Stephen, somehow I’ve missed getting your posts.

The one thing I like about supplementation or eating for brain balance is that they actually increase the level of neurotransmitters available. I think St. John's Wort inhibits reuptake like the SSRI's. @Giovanna, thanks! @Christopher, thank you for stopping by to comment on my blog! :-) @Steve, fish oils are a source off Omega 3 fatty acids which most people are heavily deficient in. I can't say enough about how important they are. I have switched from fish oils to Udo's Choice oil. It is made from seeds and grains and is therefore a safe alternative to fish oils. It is also made with a great ratio. With fatty acids the ratio is critical. Fish oils can be contaminated with mercury. When I took them I took a molecularly distilled version to avoid mercury contamination. Mercury contamination is a huge problem with fish and it is a killer for your brain and CNS. @Dragos, thanks for your support. The four neurotransmitters that were the subject of this series, including serotonin, are all very ritically important to proper health. What goes wrong in your brain dramatically effects your body. @Laurie, thank you so much for stopping by and your kind words.

I knew serotonin was a key ingredient in sleep regulation but I didn't know it affects so deep on a psychological level. I keep finding out interesting things reading your blog. :-) That is a great, great series!

I was speaking with a nurse I work with, and she was expounding on the many benefits of fish oil. I have read about bipolar and major depressive disorder being treated by psychiatrists who prescribe fish oil. My mother, who has genetically high cholesterol, was prescribed prescription fish oil pills! Now,Ｉdon't know if it has any effect on serotonin levels, but it would be interesting to find out!
