i ran accorss this article, that heat increases nuerotransmitter levels. From what i know, the only way to increase heat is stay out in the sun and being intense exercise and running, or having a fever. I guess heat could tap the synpase to move faster, struggling with depression and ADHD symptoms bad, my memory is ... its terrible, but i also bought Tdcs device and increases voltage in the brain. So i was thinking, go out side and get really hot and then use the shock thing, maybe that would increase nuerotransmitters. But probaly it would make very irrtible, not a good mood. Using heat and also electrical shock to boost nuerotransmitter levels. It sounds harsh, but maybe it should be studied

it's called Transcranial direct current stimulation, and no its not a shock. I've wrote about it here on babble before, put it on certain section of your head, such has mood, or enhance mathemtiacl abilities, it has cathode and anode, postive and negative electricty.
if heat and current stimulation could improve lowered nuerotransmitter levels. You know after a hard work out and your burning up, want water....but you feel ok. Or a fever, i can't find any evdience that heat can help depreession. But like i said maybe this could be read by soemone and would do tests and see if it works. In my opionion, it could make you very irrtible and not a good mood outside hot with electircal cords on your head.....be a fryin pan in a bad mood. Needs more studies to confirm

I have a gym membership and they have a sauna. I feel better after using it for 10-15min but I'm not sure if there's good science to back up that it's due to it increasing neurotransmitters.
I know I searched pub med once and wasn't able to find anything that clearly indicated Sauna use helped depression. I didn't find anything that said it hurt though.
I'd recommend it and it definitely gets you hot :)

I was staying in a cold mountainous area once, about zero centigrade, and there was the option of very hot water and very cold water. I alternated these for a few minutes a time and came out looking and feeling very fresh.

that's hydrotherapy, get in hot then cold water on intervals, they use it for arthritus and sports medicines, you go into a sauna or a cold shower. It also helps depression

I can imagine that heat often times comes with a lot of light and that's why people are feeling better!
