Serotonin Vs Dopamine

A common misconception that people often have is regarding the differences between serotonin and dopamine. Both serotonin and dopamine are neurotransmitters and function as messengers between brain cells. The problem arises because both have been associated with positive and mood changes. The fact remains that both dopamine and serotonin have different features but one of their features happens to be that it brings a feeling of pleasure and provide happiness. The primary difference is that dopamine actually brings a feeling of heightened happiness as a result of performing a certain action. It is released in your brain as a result of the ‘reward’ scheme. Serotonin, on the other hand, is more of a mood stabilizer than a booster. It merely regulates your mood into a more positive stage than it was before. The secretion of serotonin is very essential in regulating sleep, digestion and wound healing. This is also the reason why serotonin in our body is found within the digestive system.
