Neurotransmitters, Mood & Cognitive Function

This report may be useful if you experience any of these symptoms:

Your mood, focus, drive and calm run on chemical messengers — dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, GABA, glutamate and melatonin. But a neurotransmitter is rarely "high" or "low" everywhere at once. Dopamine can be low in the thinking circuit (poor focus, flat motivation) while running high in the reward circuit (impulsivity, racing intensity) in the same person. This report scores each function + neurotransmitter separately — mesocortical, mesolimbic, nigrostriatal and tuberoinfundibular dopamine, then norepinephrine, serotonin, melatonin, GABA and glutamate — so support and medication suggestions fit your actual pattern instead of a single blunt label.

• Low motivation, flat mood, or loss of pleasure
• Anxiety, panic, or feeling "wired but tired"
• Poor focus, working-memory dropout, brain fog
• Racing thoughts or a mind that won't switch off
• Rumination or overwhelm that worsens under stress
• Irritability, emotional reactivity, or a short fuse
• Insomnia — trouble falling or staying asleep
• Restless legs, tremor, or feeling physically slow
• Tics, twitches, or an urge to keep moving
• Compulsions, addiction pull, or reward-seeking
• Sensitivity to rejection or emotional pain
• Seasonal (winter) mood dips
• Carbohydrate cravings, especially evenings
• Caffeine that reliably tips you into anxiety
• Delayed sleep timing or severe jet lag
• Palpitations, sweaty palms, easy startle
• Chronic pain or a lowered pain threshold
• Unexplained breast-milk, cycle changes, or low libido

Answer the symptom questions below as honestly as you can. Combined with your DNA file, your answers map which brain circuits are most worth your attention, and which support strategies — and which medications — give you the highest leverage with the least disruption elsewhere.
