We have many theories about the source of the bad mood. (Most people consider their wife or husband or family or job or financial status as the source of their depression!).

Clinical bad mood, depression and anxiety are treated with SSRI - Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor - SSRI.

If you have interest in understanding moods, emotions, happiness, productivity and memory - fully understand the mechanism of SSRI.

SSRI medicines are most popular medications for treating depressions.

SSRI increases level of neurotransmitter serotonin in the gap between two neurons!

That's it.

Increase in level of Serotonin in the gap between neurons is considered as the most effective medical solutions for depression.

Every year, approximately $ 12 Billion are spent on SSRI. Most popular SSRI medicine Zoloft generated revenue of US $ 3 billion for Pfizer at its peak sales!

SSRIs are widely prescribed because patients experience benefit and doctors consider it effective.

Popularity of SSRI indicates that scientific theory of considering Serotonin as the most important neurotransmitter for good mood and feeling good seems to be consistent with the experience of patients and medical practitioners!

Well.. if you want to have a good mood, you should have high level of serotonin in synapse - gap between your neurons!

Lot of clinical trials suggest that Fasting increases your Serotonin level. 16/8 fasting might be the quickest and safest method to get into good mood!!
