Is it true that the human body has a natural antidepressant?
assistant
Yes, the human body has a natural antidepressant. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood and serotonin levels are often lower in people with depression. Tryptophan is an essential amino acid found in foods such as turkey, fish, and dairy products. When ingested tryptophan can be converted to serotonin which may help improve depression symptoms.
