Serotonin is a well known neurotransmitter.But, research is finding that serotonin, while still a player, isn‘t as important as we thought it was.

By reverting inward one is able to let go of reality, to turn off events and withdraw. Depression can be caused by many events, real or imagined.

And the easiest behavior is to pull back, withdraw, and wait it out. Best not to deal with the situation, for even the idea of it becomes overwhelming. Of course, once this becomes a habit, once the road has been laid, more is added and the behavior deepens.
