Serotonin is a natural chemical in your body that is responsible for improving mood. Many of the antidepressant medications on the market today work by enhancing the body’s utilization of serotonin.

In addition, anyone who witnesses an act of kindness also has an increase in serotonin levels.Kindness is a natural antidepressant for the giver, receiver, and witness of human compassion.
