- Great self-help tips in this article. I might add: It always helps me feel better knowing that I'm DOing something to help me feel better.(eg. AA is a spiritual program of ACTION.)

- Some people believe that being around (looking at) water (ocean, river, stream, swimming pool) enhances serotonin. One captain for the Royal Caribbean line ends each cruise saying that research has proven cruises to be beneficial to your health. There sure are a lot of people out staring at the water from horizon to horizon. It could, however, also be what they're not seeing.

- "1.Restoring levels of serotonin in the body relieves symptoms of depression and anxiety. 2. Vitamin B6 and magnesium can elevate serotonin. Source: Dr. Allan D. Lieberman, M.D., FAAEM 3. Seratonin receptors decrease significantly with age - up to 55%. Source: Research reported by Carolyn Meltzer, M.D., Assistant Professor of Radiology and Psychiatry, U. of Pittsburgh. 4.

Anti-depressants work with the serotonin you produce; they don't produce it. Your body produces serotonin through L-tryptophan. L-Tryptophan is present in pork, duck and turkey -- maybe this is one reason we love Thanksgiving so much! 6. Research indicates that low levels of serotonin in the brain can lead to underlying inability to handle powerful feelings which can result in impulsive acts, aggressive behaviors, poor judgment, and self-destructive tendencies. According to the Society for Neuroscience, in experiments, monkeys with less serotonin are the ones who take daring jumps from the trees and injure themselves. Rats low in serontonin do risky things in experiments, and also accept small immediate rewards instead of waiting for a bigger prize. 7. Serotonin can also be enhanced by talk therapy and by aerobic exercise such as jogging or dance. Source: Harvard psychiatrist Joseph Glenmullen, author of "Prozac Backlash." (www.discover.com) 8. Touch increases serotonin during massage and decreases pain levels, improves sleep patterns, decreases fatigue, anxiety, depression, and cortisol levels in fibromyalgia patients.
