Serotonin-dopamine activity
Serotonin and dopamine are chemical messengers in the brain that help regulate mood, motivation, and emotional well-being. Serotonin primarily influences feelings of happiness, relaxation, and stability, while dopamine is associated with reward, motivation, and pleasure. Their activity levels need to be balanced for proper mental health; an imbalance can contribute to conditions like depression, anxiety, or addiction. These neurotransmitters work together within complex neural systems, influencing how we feel, think, and respond to our environment, maintaining overall emotional and cognitive balance.
