Hello everyone. Thank you for reading my guestion. I do know that Seratonin should be some sort of chemical reaction in brain but that’s about it. I know alot of songs mentioning seratonin and I did read Wikipedia article about it but it is still pretty unclear what exactly it is. Thank you for every response.
In: Biology
serotonin or 5HT is the chemical that more or less mediates our feeling of happiness, social well being, and several other senses of “good feeling”.
I have a hard time explaining it, but let’s say that it is what makes us feel good both when we are in a good social setting, and when we have food satiation. fucking with it can also effect our sense of pattern recognition. kinda let your brain explode about why social situation security, pattern recognition and food plenitude would be connected in the brain and you can kinda “get” what serotonin does.
>I know alot of songs mentioning seratonin
I would guess songs mention it because tryptamine psychedelics are 5HT agonists (they imitate it’s shape and do a somewhat-ok job of imitating what it does in the brain). much music is related to drug culture, so I’d say popular artists could be talking about tryptamines.
>why do people say that some may have more of it and some less.
well, clinical depression is more or less the pathology of either having too little endogenous serotonin or too few receptor sites for the brain to “take in” the serotonin it has.
of course, a person who is malnourished or finds themselves in a socially horrible situation will have low serotonin too.
