The brain is an extraordinary organ we still learn about. For example, our brain determines various emotions, such as depression. So, have you ever wondered what's going on in your brain when you're depressed?
Sadness is one of the emotions that affect our metabolism the most. Well what does it mean?
While depressed, your brain becomes incredibly active. While it may sound strange, scientific studies show that more than 70 different parts of a brain in depression work. You ask why? It's easy to explain.
When you're depressed, you remember something, think, suffer, and look for solutions or new options. You sleep very little because you think about too much. For this reason, the hippocampus, the anterior cingulate cortex and the temporal lobes, which are the anterior part of the brain (prefrontal cortex), are active.
You should also remember that your brain spends 20% of your energy.
But when you're depressed, you need more energy, and your main requirement is glucose. This makes you feel more hungry, and your life suffering something sweet.
A sad brain releases the nerve carrier of serotonin, which is linked to your motivation.
If you are unable to leave a period of sadness by making new decisions and accepting the past, this deficiency of serotonin may cause you to experience depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder and / or anger attacks.
