The Effect of Serotonin on the Brain in Suicide Patients

Effect of Serotonin on the Brain of Suicide Patients Although the author has some basic understanding of the effects of serotonin on the brain, Carol Ezzell's "Why. Neuroscience of Suicide" caused a level of effect on my serotonin It was. Process curiosity. It is absorbed by the brain and affects suicide patients. This article was recently published on the Neurology and Behavioral website as a supplement to the reading of neurology and behavior in the spring semester 2003. In this article, writer Carroll Ezzell wrote his own personal experience and provided a useful report on pioneering neuroscience research on suicide.

Serotonin is an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. Unlike dopamine, serotonin does not stimulate the brain, so it can only be inhibitory rather than excitability. Still, it plays an important role in the brain. It will keep you calm or will bring you a good mood. Serotonin helps regulate appetite, sleep cycles, suppression of violence, and suppression of pain. Lack of such chemicals can cause depression and low levels of dopamine can cause Parkinson's disease (Train, et al., 2011). In addition, low levels of serotonin may become an entrance to various diseases such as immunosuppression.

The focus of an important new study is to predict suicidal behavior by examining the level of neurotransmitter serotonin. According to J. John Mann, professor of psychiatry at Columbia University and director of the Department of Neurology at the State Psychiatry Institute of New York, more than 95% of suicides are devoid of serotonin in the brain. According to the report of AFSP, there is "clear relationship". The low concentration of serotonin metabolite 5-hydroxycitric acid (5-HIAA) in cerebrospinal fluid is that psychiatric patients are trying to increase the frequency of suicide.

Scientists are beginning to make some progress in understanding the brains of people who committed suicide. It seems that humans are just doing chemistry experiments. We are all about serotonin and dopamine. For those trying to commit suicide, they have less serotonin and these serotonin will enter the brain to participate in decision making and to control impulses. Impulsive suicide is usually what we do not see any warning. Unfortunately, this study is effectively implemented several years ago and helps prevent future suicides.
