Chemically Imbalanced: The Making and Unmaking of the Serotonin Myth by Joanna Moncrieff, 2025

For years, we've been led to believe that depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain and antidepressants are the solution. But what if this widely accepted belief has been built on unreliable truths?

Das prämenstruelle Syndrom (#PMS) umfasst Beeinträchtigungen des körperlichen, psychischen und sozialen Wohlbefindens von Frauen in den Tagen vor der #Menstruation, die mit dem Einsetzen der Menstruation nachlassen. Ob selektive #Serotonin-Wiederaufnahmehemmer im Vergleich zu Placebo bei Frauen mit PMS die selbst eingeschätzten prämenstruellen Symptome verbessern, untersucht ein #CochraneReview: https://buff.ly/3YLBo1f

Histone Serotonylation is one of the crazier epigenetic modifications - #Serotonin, the neurotransmitter, is shuttled into the nucleus and coupled to specific glutamine residues on the histone tails.

This happens not only in the brain, but apparently also in the placenta, this new paper shows:

Zuletzt rückten Studien den #Serotonin-Spiegel bei #LongCovid in den Fokus - ist das die Erklärung für somatisch verursachte, neurokognitive Symptome? #PostCovid-Spezialist Bernhard Schieffer hält das für verfrüht - er ist davon überzeugt, dass eine gestörte Blut-Hirn-Schranke eine wichtige Rolle spielt.

Study traces long COVID symptoms to SARS-CoV-2 infection in gut.

A new study links some neurocognitive symptoms of long COVID to persistent SARS-CoV-2 infection in the gut, which triggers a series of reactions that lowers serotonin levels.

Serotonin levels are depleted in long COVID patients, study says, pointing to a potential cause for ‘brain fog’

New research about low serotonin in Long Covid, and a bit of commentary about where that fits in to the overall picture.

“Not everyone’s going to have low serotonin. Not everyone’s going to have low morning cortisol. Not everyone’s going to have T cell exhaustion ... But these are the places we should be looking.”

Scientists Offer a New Explanation for #LongCovid

In some patients, remnants of the coronavirus in the gut may stifle production of #serotonin, an important neurotransmitter, researchers suggest:
