Endorphins and serotonin are bio-chemicals which are produced in the brain of most people, Endorphins are something like a natural morphine which relieve pain in our body. These things also help us feel happier and more content, Sometime certain people get a chemical imbalance which is apparently has happened to you. Doctors can prescribe them for you if they agree you need them.

Answer 3

They're hormones that the body produces. Serotnin regulates mood and Endorphins give you a sense of well-being and happiness. If you're depressed you probably lack these hormones. You can't get them from food or anything.. but it you have a bad diet it will deffinetely affect you. The only other way is drugs like Prozac.
