So this neurotransmitters thing is popping in my brain like popcorn.
Found a great article on Neurotransmitter Depletion:
Quote:
For years it has been known in medicine that low levels of Serotonin and/or Norepinephrine can cause many diseases and illness. Some of the diseases and/or illnesses caused by or associated with low levels of Serotonin and/or Norepinephrine include:
Depression/Moody
Anxiety
Panic Attacks
Insomnia/Sleep disorders
Premenstrual Tension
Fibromyalgia
Obesity
Anorexia
Bulimia
"Hypoglycemia"
Chronic pain states
Migraines
ADD/ADHD
Restless Leg Syndrome
In addition, over 60 diseases and illnesses may be caused by or associated with neurotransmitter deficiency. Low neurotransmitter levels is not only very common, it is epidemic.

And how do we get neurotransmitters? Nutrition.
Quote:
"How do the levels of serotonin and catecholamine neurotransmitters get to such critically low levels?" There are several explanations.
The first is that neurotransmitter depletion is nutritionally based. Neurotransmitters are made from amino acids that must be obtained from protein in the diet. In addition, amino acids, vitamins and minerals eaten in food are required for the creation of the neurotransmitters. If the diet is deficient, neurotransmitter deficiency develops.
