Physical Science

I conducted a three week study on myself with the usage of Serotonin. Serotonin is a hormone also called 5 hydroxytryptamine.It has been proven that serotonin can change a persons mood. Serotonin can be found in the brain and act as a neurotransmitter for neurons. If serotonin levels are low than more than likely you are feeling depressed. In fact it is a one of many treatments for depression.



My clinical study began by a visit that I had with a Dr. Janis Jones. I often wondered why I was in a bad mood most of the time or my mood would go from being a good on e to being a bad one in such short of time throughout the day on an everyday basis. In turn Janis told me to go to a pharmacy and pick up a bottle of serotonin and begin taking it immediately.This study was for a three week basis with a collective weekly log.


Diary:

Week 1

I noticed that every day this week I was happy all during the day everyday. I felt calm and mellow. I did not experience road rage like I usually do. I did nice things without hesitation or huffing. I must say I had an enjoyable week.



Week 2

I am still taking the serotonin except i missed a day and it had and effect on my mood the following day after that. I find it amazing how missing one night of a missed dose affected my mood and thoughts for the next day. That day I was acting negatively and acted ugly towards other people. I am convinced that I needed to regulate my hormone levels in my brain because as soon as I began this hormone I changed my persona immediately. I realized that I had been depressed for a while now and did not know I was in a depression.



Week 3


One other change that I have noticed is that my body has adjusted to the hormone therapy and I am in fact losing some weight and my stomach is less bloated and I am becoming more active. I have the energy to wake up and go jogging or walking before my day begins. One good thing is that I have more patience for my three year old toddler.My eating habits have even changed for the better because I eat less portions of food and I don't eat as much during the day.



In conclusion I am very satisfied with the study and I plan on continuing my serotonin intake as part of a daily regiment. I wonder what else I could be missing! Hmmmmm
