As endocrinologist Yekaterina Grigoryeva said, when not everything is safe in the gastrointestinal tract, depression and depression can occur.

According to her, the development of mediators that are “responsible” for emotional recovery directly depends on the work of the gastrointestinal tract and the state of the microbiota (the totality of all human bacteria). If you eliminate inflammation in the intestines and micronutrient deficiencies, the emotional state of a person will improve significantly.

Happy people make dopamine, serotonin, endorphins, the hormone oxytocin. Dopamine is a foretaste hormone. Violations of its production threaten various addictions. For example, perfectionists often have genetic problems with dopamine production.

It is known that mood can be artificially raised with alcohol, such as wine.

- Unlike neurotransmitters, alcohol and drugs are stimulants.. They really cause a short-term increase in mood, but the price of this dose of happiness is too high. For example, a person in a depressed mood can be compared to a squeezed sponge. He has a deficiency of hormones, neurotransmitters, health problems. Stimulants squeeze this " Therefore, even for a short period of time, a person will feel a mood lift, will soon slide even lower, ”the expert noted.

She added that people often come to her appointment with complaints of lack of energy, fatigue, irritability. The fact is that modern people live in a state of stress, but they forget about the recovery phase: we go to bed after midnight, drink stimulants, eat a lot of simple carbohydrates.

Simple carbohydrates are dangerous because they give a brief burst of energy.

- It seems to a person that, having eaten a chocolate bar, he seemed to recharge. But after a short-term increase in sugar level there is a sharp drop in its level, accompanied by aggression, a bad mood, headaches. Need another bar. As a result, people sit down for sweets, the doctor warned.

According to her, glucose addiction is 20 times stronger than cocaine.
