Part 1 of the blog was all about the dopamine and serotonin and basically all the possible  positive impacts on our body and brain. In this blog we will consider the darker side of the brain.

To begin with, there is a hormone called oxytoxicin who is responsible beyond the uterus contraction and expansion while giving birth, however it is also associated for forming close personal bonds mainly living to living beings.  And it's equally important for both men and women.

For an instance it might be cuddling with your loved ones, hugging them or kissing or even loving you pet as well stimulates the oxytoxicin in the body.

What oxytoxicin does actually is it slows or lowers down the activity of amygadala which is the centre area of fear and stress.

Hence higher the oxytoxicin lower is the stress.

This brings down us to mental disability of a person just because of insufficiency of the hormones secretions in the body.

Commencing with the DEPRESSION  as it is the most form of mental issues people dealt with and considerably people of all ages.

People with depression can be treated with medication and through therapy, usually through both. A mentally balanced person will usually have equal amount of neural secretion in brain but what happens in depression is that, neural secretion in the brain goes lower. There is a area in the brain called dorsolateralprefrontal cortex(the name is not important as its activity)  these area of the brain is being shrunk in depression. This area of brain is responsible for you output and action and if that's gone you feel motivated and inattentive.

So you use to identify yourself as a got fetter and always on high energy person but now you are just not that person anymore, and it's completely fine because it isn't your fault at the end of the day. So basically depression leads to certain chain of reaction of emotions that is hard to get rid of as potential area of the brain being shrunk.

ALZIMER'S ( identity and memory) : Memory is what that links every moment to the next.  its a photograph that an individual link one after the other. In alzimer neurons in the brain that is responsible for memory formation dies, because of the chronic stress an individual experience over the period of time and then when this neurons died there is accumulation of toxins in the brain and your brain starts to loose it's ability to makes sense of everything around him. So the reality starts to change.

It mixes up all the energy and interlink two or three of them to form completely different memory

For an instance if my friend is in front of me , can't identify him?  Starts questioning who is in front of me? Amygadala gets activated, thinks that maybe someone has assassinated him to kill me, so stories are created to make sense of weird picture in front of me.  

This happens at the last stage of alzimer. 

ALZIMER'S is a disease that occurs to people in late 60s and mainly because of the chronic stress they experience in their lifetime or maybe due to the brain clot or may be due to the heart issues and high blood pressure. 

With that we came to a conclusion where we understand the radiating importance of mental health. 

This is where practicing meditation and deep breathing exercises, yoga had a major role to play.
