ENDORPHIN AND DEPRESSION

 Endorphins are one of our favorite hormones. There are about 20 types of endorphins in the human body. These are in many areas, usually in the pituitary gland, but they can also be in other parts of the brain and nervous system.

These chemical components communicate with opioid recipients to reduce pain sensation. It acts more or less similar to morphine and codeine. Also, it feels great that a lot of endorphins are secreted; It creates a feeling of enthusiasm in people. This usually occurs when we do things like sports, friendships, food, and sex that our brains see as positive.

ADRENALINE AND DEPRESSION

 Anxiety is like a monster that feeds on adrenaline. However, is this hormone really bad? Not at all. Just like dopamine and oxytocin, adrenaline is a multi-functional substance.

Adrenaline has a huge impact on our behavior. It activates our vital instinct, motivates us and enables us to be more productive in work or sports.
Too much adrenaline can cause anxiety. On the other hand, lack of adrenaline can also lead to feelings of depression, low motivation, reluctance, indecision, and so on.

THYROID AND DEPRESSION

 Thyroid hormones are giant molecules and keeping them in balance is essential for health and happiness. They play a role in almost all metabolic and functional processes of our body. T1, T2, T3, T4, TSH thyroid hormones have an indispensable role in our endocrine system.

In order for the thyroid to work in harmony, it needs raw materials. Some of these are iodine and vitamin B 12, unfortunately these elements are not very eaten in Western countries.

MELATONIN AND DEPRESSION

 Melatonin has always been a popular hormone that has been studied. It is known to play a role in our sleep-wake cycles. However, as we've seen recently, it slows down premature aging and acts as a neurological guardian.

Cone glands produce melatonin or N-acetyl-5-methoxy tryptamine from tryptophan. The correct melatonin level allows us to sleep and synchronize our neurotransmitters.
Deficiency of this hormone not only causes insomnia, it also impairs many cognitive functions such as attention and memory. It even poses a high risk for neurological degenerative diseases.

OXYTOCIN AND DEPRESSION

 Oxytocin is a "multipurpose" hormone. The nine amino acid oligopeptide that makes up this hormone has a positive role in our social behavior in society. These include sexuality, friendship, love, parenting, breastfeeding, etc. It includes situations such as.

  Any decrease in oxytocin levels can lead to situations such as depression, sadness, helplessness, and a lack of empathy. An article published by the British Society of Endocrinology at their annual conference proved that people with low oxytocin levels also have less empathy.

CORTISOL AND DEPRESSION

    As we all know, cortisol is a hormone that affects stress and anxiety. However, just because we harbor it in our bodies does not mean that we will lose control or be on alert. The main thing is the amount it is secreted from.

    Cortisol is a glucocorticoid hormone synthesized from cholesterol by the glands in our kidneys. It gives us the energy to get up every morning and continue our day. It also allows us to react to things that our brains see as dangerous.

    The main problem with this hormone is that we secretly secrete it. Especially when we are struggling with problems, when life comes too high and everything seems out of control ...

CRH AND DEPRESSION

    Researchers who have struggled for years to overcome stress have made an important step forward by discovering the center of stress in the brain.

According to the information announced at the medical congress held in Bristol earlier this month, the starting point of the stress reaction is in the ‘‘ hypothalamus, a walnut-sized region in the brain. Nerve cells in this area secrete the hormone "corticotropin" (Crh) in case of an undesirable situation.

This hormone causes the secretion of another hormone called "adrenocorticotrope" (ACHT). This hormone mixes with the blood and flows into the adrenal glands. The adrenal glands start to produce adrenaline and cortisol hormones, and fat cells start to spray sugar. Heartbeat accelerates, blood pressure rises in order to provide energy transfer to the muscles. In such situations, people cannot find opportunities for either sex or digestion.

However, after the danger passes, the body brakes, cortisol produced with adrenaline returns to its center in the brain. The alarm condition ends.
