They say that laughter is the best medicine, but apparently getting too happy isn't good for you either.
IN A world where happiness is increasingly hard to come by, we all look forward to little boosts of serotonin – spending time with loved ones, cooing over the latest cute animals on social media (Moo Deng, anyone?), making it to payday, et cetera.
Serotonin, also known as the 'happiness hormone', is a natural mood booster responsible for feelings of euphoria. In other words, when you feel on top of the world, you have this hormone to thank. On the contrary, low serotonin has been linked to clinical depression.
