Learning more about periodic mood changes or a depressed mood

We all experience mild to moderate mood changes and depressed mood from time to time. We might feel a little blue or simply just experience slight fatigue. It is important to note that there is a link between stress and these mood fluctuations.

Stress causes changes within the body that can contribute to emotional imbalance. It’s normal and natural to experience occasional feelings of depressed mood and mental fatigue caused by everyday stress. There are steps that you can take to support your stress response system and a healthy neurotransmitter balance to relieve these occasional mood changes.

New information has shown a link between stress and depressed mood. It is now believed that everyday stress can both trigger fluctuations in mood and lead to feelings of fatigue, minor sadness, or a “blue” mood. A healthy neurotransmitter balance promotes positive mood in the face of stressful situations. Neurotransmitters are produced by the brain to carry out many important functions. One of the functions of neurotransmitters is to regulate our moods. A healthy neurotransmitter balance is essential for maintaining stable mood and avoiding occasional depressed mood.

Maintaining a lifestyle that helps to reduce stress is also key to relieving mild to moderate mood changes and a depressed mood caused by everyday stress.
