अवसाद-कारण और निवारण Depression Part- IV

The constitution of the WHO states “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

               Serotonin and Melatonin are two hormones made from the amino acid Tryptophan.  Serotonin is made directly from Tryptophan, and Melatonin is made from Serotonin. Both Serotonin and Melatonin are secreted by a pea-sized, pine-cone-shaped gland called the pineal gland.  The pineal gland is located in the center of the brain.  Instead of secreting the Serotonin and Melatonin directly into the blood, the pineal gland secrets those hormones primarily into the small, inner serial/spinal fluid holding verticals and channels inside the brain, cerebellum and spinal cord.  Most of the Melatonin receptors in the body are located in the inside parts of the central nervous system that line the verticals and canals that contain the ceribrial/spinal fluid.  So the ceribial/spinal fluid is what dissolves and carries Serotonin and Melatonin to their receptors.
