Okay, the reason I bring this topic up is because I just read an old book (1996)called "Peak-Performance Living." I found it in my father's library and began reading it and couldn't put it down. If I read it correctly, your "baseline" of neurotransmitter activity determines your current mood.
low serotonin & high dopamine: anxious depressive

low serotonin & low dopamine: unmotivated, apathetic depressive
high serotonin & moderate dopamine: motivated but calm; genuine feeling of happiness and low anxiety
That is apparently what is ideal. We'd like to have really high serotonin and GABA baselines and moderate dopamine and NE levels.
