Serotonin is a chemical compound found in our nervous system, optimal amounts of which cause feelings of joy, contentment and mental well-being. However, its deficiency causes negative mood changes, aggressiveness, depression and sleep disturbances. It can be optimally replenished naturally through a healthy lifestyle, psychohygiene, satisfying social relationships and exercise. If there is no other option, it can be artificially supplemented with antidepressant agents.
