The Serotonin Overload Syndrome
A modern orvostudományban a depresszió megértése összetett és sokszínű kihívás, amely számos pszichológiai és biológiai tényezőt ötvöz. Az egyik legelterjedtebb nézet szerint a depresszió hátterében az agyban lévő neurotranszmitterek, különösen a szerotonin és a noradrenalin alacsony szintje áll. Ezek az anyagok kulcsszerepet játszanak a hangulat szabályozásában, és a hiányuk súlyos következményekkel járhat.

Ez az állapot komoly egészségügyi kockázatokat rejthet magában, és sürgős orvosi beavatkozást igényelhet.…
