"The Science of Happiness: Unveiling the Power of Serotonin, Dopamine, and More"

TL;DR Summary
Dopamine, serotonin, endorphins, and oxytocin are the four main chemicals in our bodies that contribute to feelings of happiness and euphoria. Dopamine gives us pleasure and motivation, serotonin contributes to focus and emotional stability, endorphins relieve anxiety and improve well-being, and oxytocin plays a role in sexual arousal and bonding. While these chemicals are important, happiness is a complex interplay of genetics, hormones, and physical health. Serotonin, norepinephrine, and GABA are the primary chemicals involved in anxiety, with serotonin deficiency being associated with both anxiety and depression.
