Mood Regulation Chemistry

Meaning

Mood Regulation Chemistry describes the intricate balance of neurochemicals, neuropeptides, and systemic hormones that collectively govern emotional stability, affective state, and stress response capacity. This complex biochemical milieu, centered in the limbic system and prefrontal cortex, is highly sensitive to external stressors, genetic predispositions, and, critically, fluctuations in the endocrine environment. Optimizing this chemistry is fundamental to psychological well-being and cognitive performance.
