CORTISOL=THE STRESS HORMONE ➤ Cortisol ➤ What is it? ➤ What does it do?

DOPAMINE=“THE FEEL GOOD” NEUROTRANSMITTER ➤ Dopamine ➤ What is it? ➤ What does it do?

SERO ➤ Serotonin ➤ What is it? ➤ What does it do? ➤ Girls’ levels tends to be about 30% higher making them less apt to “fight” when in conflict. Boys have less access to serotonin to help them manage their anger. ➤ Oxytocin - The “tend and befriend” hormone ➤ What is it? ➤ What does it do?
