Psychological Well-Being Hormones

Meaning

Psychological Well-Being Hormones are the key endocrine and neuroendocrine signaling molecules that critically modulate mood, emotional stability, cognitive function, and the overall subjective experience of mental health. This category includes neurosteroids like allopregnanolone, which influences GABA receptors, as well as classic hormones like thyroid hormone, which regulates brain metabolism, and oxytocin, associated with social bonding. Maintaining the precise balance and appropriate receptor sensitivity for these hormones is essential for sustaining robust mental and emotional health.
