Endorphins And Emotions - Deepstash

Endorphins And Emotions

Endorphins are secreted during stress or pain to block out the bad sensations, and are also responsible for pleasurable sensations that we get from eating our favourite food or having sex. Our brain generates emotions from an area called the limbic system, which has a specific region called hypothalamus, responsible for functions like breathing, hunger and emotional response.

Problems with the endorphin binding process result in clinical depression or sudden changes in emotions.
