I get it of course, but just for fun, can you explain it as if I'm too lazy to look up what that is?
(I know serotonin is generally linked with happiness, but I don't know the other thing)
It's stress hormones you use to handle stress with becoming an emotional wreck. This includes physical stress like getting sick but also of course emotional stress.
The effects of low cortisol are similar to a burnout and high cortisol makes you worry and restless on the low end and paranoid at the high end.
Corticosteroids are synthetic versions of this and often use to treat infections and inflammation.
<exploding-head.gif>. Holy shit dude... A significant portion of my life just snapped into focus with an almost audible click. I got an actual head rush as my brain went into overload trying to re-sort pretty much it's entire contents.
I know this is a throwaway comment for you, but this shit explains so much of my life.
Research skills are a muscle. ;)
