Psych

Insecure adolescents may lack serotonin and as a result have trouble sleeping, have disturbed eating habits, and unpleasant moods. To help with these consequences, doctors may prescribe drugs that contain selective reuptake inhibitors to allow serotonin to linger longer in the synaptic cleft. This will prevent serotonin from being reabsorbed by the previous neuron and not being able to be transmitted to the next neuron. As a result, students could slowly become in a slightly better mood and state. Selective reuptake inhibitors are a possible solution for adolescents that have a hard time dealing with their imperfections and low self-esteem. The pituitary gland, also found in the brain, is responsible for the release of hormones and consequently, important during puberty.
