When women have low serotonin levels Zoloft can turn their life around. My daughter is Korean, we brought her to to America and adopted her when she was 4 months old. When she was in 8th grade she stared to get depressed for no apparent reason, to the point she couldn't go to school. Understand, she was a very good student, completely happy and normal up till then. Luckily we were recommended to a very good child psychologist who figured it out. Around 50% of Korean females have low serotonin levels, showing up around the teen years. Within 2 days on Zoloft we had a normal kid again! She is now 43, married, still happy, and still on Zoloft. The other plus was she missed so much of 8th grade she would have failed, so we homeschooled her all the way until she entered college and then finished 4 years on the Deans List. Getting her out of the public school system was a HUGE bonus. She was doing 1st year college work in homeschool. The local high school fought us the whole way, which made it even more rewarding, fighting a very flawed system of "education". We opened a lot of doors to alternative schooling back then.
Man, and I have been watching lectures, I mean, this woman is doing it in a very simple and meaningful way, which cause a significant understanding of the subject. Definitely loved it.
I really love the concept of the video! It entertains and at the same time it teaches a bunch of useful information. Much more people should see this video as "happy chemicals" are often misunderstood and used in a same context although they do have different functions in mammalian organisms.
Thank you I hate when people talk down to me but I appreciate the simplicity in your explanations and the visual aspects of this video were nicely done everyone watching with me was able to understand and follow along
So eating a protein bar after running a 5K fundraiser for your local church ought get you all four! So religion is a big boost of Oxy and Serotonin. Add in lunch afterward, and you've got most of it explained. This is really great starter video.
WOW! Dr. Loretta really has the knowledge and the skills to communicate this information. It is such a pleasure to be guided into that world by such gifted scientist. THANK YOU!!!!
Knowledge is power and you delivered it in such a beautiful, sophisticated, yet simple and easy to understand manner. I have ADHD and bipolar II disorder. I am also in EMDR therapy. Learning how each of these chemicals naturally operate in my body is beyond beneficial in helping me learn how to manage my mental health. Thank you for the content!
@innermammalinstitute Do we increase our serotonin release when we compare ourselves to ourselves and feel we’re “superior” or somewhere better today than yesterday OR does this only work when in comparison to other people? I appreciate your time and explanation please! Thank YOU!
For each person, whatever triggered your serotonin in youth paved the neural pathway that turns it on for you today. We can build a new pathway to feel confident in our own power regardless of those petty social comparisons of daily life, but it's hard work. It takes a lot of repetition to build a new pathway in adulthood, and we're not very motivated because it doesn't feel as good to pat yourself on the back as it does to get the world's applause. This is why people tend to fall back on whatever got them attention and respect when they were young, even when they hate the results. Remember that people mostly get applause after they die. While they're alive, their contributions are criticized. So don't make yourself miserable over that quest for the world's applause. Just presume you'll get it when you're gone and start enjoying it now. :) This is the subject of my book, Status Games: Why We Play and How to Stop. (Good question!)
@@InnerMammalInstitutea "burn" (slang term) is a form of mockery. I don't think it was intentional but its very truthful, as the moment it was said in the video I was able to see it in all aspects of our society, from religion, entertainment, politics, etc. Amazing videos by the way, I love how clear and concisely you portray your information, and it has taught me alot so far.
One of the best videos I ever watched!!! Such a way to explain how our brain works, and at the end of the day, we are all animals and we are all fighting to be alive and to be happy!
I've actually watched many videos on these topics on RUclips. Alot of them were not as accurate as this one. This video gives alot of accurate information and i think it the best one I've seen so far. Thanks for this bright and informative video.
It’s interesting how many of us treat the happy brain’s chemicals how if they would be the same thing. Actually, they have particularities that differ one from another, and, in some circumstances, some behavior can boost one chemical and repel another at the same time.
@@InnerMammalInstitute Yes... ever since Zoloft... super calm even she had a cut in the kitchen. I guess I just have to be a happy monk until she can come off.
@@InnerMammalInstitute I got first 2 books now, 3rd one on the way. Already began reading first one and underline all the important points, very well written book already show all the important points. Good website too, really help with learning on the website with more graphic. Thanks again :)
The chemicals are not designed to surge all the time so this is not really about "maximizing" them. Self-acceptance is useful, because it's hard to accept that they turn on for quirky reasons.
@@InnerMammalInstitute Yeah, Im sure theres good evolutionary reasons why they arent maximized. But we mived past that a while back ... Cant we feel great all the timw now? Hack the system ☺
Mostly dopamine, as the calories tell your brain "I am meeting a need." If you want to eat less, focus on other ways of meeting your needs, and practice telling yourself "I am meeting a need." For example, take small steps toward a goal you love. It all depends on the wiring you built from past experience. For example, if you linked the food to social support in your past, it triggers oxytocin. If you linked it to social power, it triggers serotonin. For example, if you were told NOT to eat a cookie food and you grab it anyway, you feel power and you eat more cookies because it triggers your sense of power.
They are designed to go up and down. They are designed to spurt in appropriate moments, not to flow all the time. The whole idea of "levels" is an illusion that comes from pharma and academia. Check out this better way of looking at it: ruclips.net/video/emsI9pxYWUQ/видео.html
Great content. I rarely comment but this vid deserves a comment. Important to understand this vid to understand ourselves and the world so we can behave in a more wise manner. Seretonin part was surprising. Moral superiority part makes a lot of sense. After watching this video I feel the need to choose my hormones carefully, since most of them lead to unhappiness in the long run. Look forward to learning from other vid from this RUclips channel.
No. Each one has a specific job. In the video I explain why they're not meant to flow all the time. We'd like to have them all the time, and that's why we're motivated to do things that trigger them.
It sounds crude, I know, but the fact is that everyone is already doing it, and you are already doing it, so you actually do it less when you admit that it's happening, because then you know it's not real. You know it's just your mammal brain making you feel like your survival is threatened by someone else's strength. So you can find a safe way to reassure it that you have the strength to hold your own in a world of competitive monkeys.
You remind me of Amy on the TV show Big Bang Theory... It's a good thing! She's a brain researcher in a major university. Your mannerisms are very similar and you even look like her, sort of. lol No really I enjoyed your video very much! Thank you. I've even subscribed! By the way, I do not believe in the theory of evolution. But I like you...
Hahaha. I'm 20+ years older so I'll take it as a compliment! And thank you for being open to the mutual respect view of life, which I incorporate into all of my work.
For example ; sexual intercourse. Internet says endorphins and oxytocin are secreted but I dont see why dopamin wouldnt according to this's video definition: reward system ?
I like the part about how serotonin is the ‘one-up’ chemical, that makes so much sense why people can seem so self-centered or selfish. I’m so glad you made these videos. Is there anymore of those chemical associations that you didn’t mention in the video....like the latter?? I’d like to know about them. Thanks! 🙂✨👍🥰👌🏼

It may seem childish but I now have a mental reference when trying to remember what each chemical does.

*Brilliantly* delivered. Subscribed.
Oxytocin is also released during breastfeeding... to promote the mother/child bond 💖
Very clear. You make sophisticated topics simple ! Genius
Which drugs and which method I can use
What's the name of the chemical that drives me crazy everytime I see a misspelling like "Oxtyocin"
in an educational video?
Loved the video, though.

Actually, they have particularities that differ one from another, and, in some circumstances, some behavior can boost one chemical and repel another at the same time.
I wonder if the oxytocin typo in the label was deliberate o.O
great job very easy to understand
Excellent! Love the way this is explained! I am a visual learner. Thank you❤
Thanks! i just had a causual conversation about brain chemicals and i did not know the difference.
Yes, people often say "endorphins" when they mean another; or "adrenaline."
Great explanation!!!! Thanks!
I have the deficiency if serotonin and dopamine and oxytocin plz tell me solution
Well explained.
How to take these
Thank you so much for explaining this to us , with best image
Great explanation. Thank you so much. I bought the book🙋🏻♂️
You are good at this🙌
My oxytocin and serotonin droped at listening to this video not understanding
Thanks for this knowledge I have hardly seen such worth video like this 🤩🥰
I love your videos and channel. So educational!!! My wife is on the Zoloft.... wondering why too much serotonin would cause sexual dysfunction??
In nature, serotonin has the function of calming the dominant individual, which prevents conflict. Maybe non-natural intake means too much calm.
@@InnerMammalInstitute Yes... ever since Zoloft... super calm even she had a cut in the kitchen. I guess I just have to be a happy monk until she can come off.

those anti depressants are just bad they mess up ur mood sometimes
Amazing, thank you!
Thanks a lot .. you made it simple
We need to release oxytocin in order to tolerate each other 😂 2:30
How do I maximise all these good chemicals?
The chemicals are not designed to surge all the time so this is not really about "maximizing" them. Self-acceptance is useful, because it's hard to accept that they turn on for quirky reasons.
@@InnerMammalInstitute Yeah, Im sure theres good evolutionary reasons why they arent maximized. But we mived past that a while back ... Cant we feel great all the timw now? Hack the system ☺
@@someonesomeone25 You have a right to your opinion, and many people are "selling" t hat diea, but I want it to be clear that this is not my message.
She is too cute. I love this, great video sister 🤗👍🧡
Very interesting. Makes so many human behaviors I hadn't undersood before, make sense.
what chemicals are triggered by sugar and carbs?
Mostly dopamine, as the calories tell your brain "I am meeting a need." If you want to eat less, focus on other ways of meeting your needs, and practice telling yourself "I am meeting a need." For example, take small steps toward a goal you love. It all depends on the wiring you built from past experience.

For example, if you were told NOT to eat a cookie food and you grab it anyway, you feel power and you eat more cookies because it triggers your sense of power.
To understand the universe inside us and outside us, we have to look from our roots.
Amazing. Thank you
D-Limonene is my shortcut for all of these reward based greatness simplely by having a nebulizer and breathing the air.... good Luck

Djordje Trkulja she’s targeting the part of your mind that will actually listen to the valuable information that she is serving us.
It does not doing anything that looks like the topic she wants to talk about.
Are these chemicals released at the same time??
Oh I see now🤣🤣
No. Each one has a specific job. In the video I explain why they're not meant to flow all the time. We'd like to have them all the time, and that's why we're motivated to do things that trigger them.

can i just drink them?
Am I the only one to realise the Oxytocin bottle said "Oxtyocin" at 2:11? That cracked me up
