Brain science, simplified 🧠 Understanding our neurotransmitters — the brain’s chemical messengers — can help us better understand mental health. Depression often involves changes in key neurotransmitters like serotonin (our “mood regulator”) and dopamine (our “reward” chemical). When these get out of balance, it can affect our mood, sleep, energy and motivation. Remember: Depression isn’t just “feeling sad” — it’s a complex condition involving real changes in brain chemistry. If you’re struggling, know that you’re not alone and it’s okay to seek help. 💚 #rulahealth #depressioneducation #depressionawareness #depressionhelp #brainscience #brainchemistry #neurotransmitters #serotonin #dopamine
