Mood disorders can negatively affect our
mental well-being, behavior, physical health and relationships. These disorders often affect everyone, children and adults alike, irrespective of their ethnic background, gender, social condition, or level of education. Depression is the most common mood disorder, affecting almost one in five people. Stress is the major impetus for mood disorders and essentially results from a combination of biological, psychological, and other individual factors. During this webinar, we will briefly review the nervous system and the main neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) in the brain involved in mood balance as well as common mood disorders. We will also discuss safe, effective and natural options to achieve and maintain a healthy mood balance including diet, lifestyle and nutritional supplements. |
