Serotonin Secretion Disorders

Serotonin secretion disorders refer to conditions where the body either produces too much or too little serotonin, a key neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood, sleep, appetite, and digestion. An excess of serotonin can lead to symptoms like agitation, confusion, and rapid heart rate, known as serotonin syndrome. Conversely, low serotonin levels are often linked to depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders. These imbalances can arise from various factors, including genetics, medications, and mental health conditions, requiring medical evaluation and treatment to restore a healthy serotonin level and improve overall well-being.
