Neurotransmitters are natural chemical messengers used by the nervous system to facilitate communication and send information between neurons. The levels of neurotransmitters in a person’s body play a significant role in their health, and improper balance can cause various psychological or neurological symptoms because the body is over- or under-stimulated. Overall, neurotransmitter imbalances can result in fatigue, irritability, appetite changes, anxiety and depression, impulsivity, OCD or ADHD, insomnia, and different addictions.
Generally, these symptoms appear because improper levels of neurotransmitters either increase or decrease motivating and energizing signals. One of the most common imbalances is in the levels of serotonin. This neurotransmitter is very important for people’s emotions and a key to their positive emotions. Precisely serotonin helps resist depression and anxiety, and the shortage of this neurotransmitter results in a variety of problems like low energy, panic attacks, sleeping problems, migraines, and depressed mood.
