Medical Conditions - Endorphins

Endorphins are neurotransmitters released by the hypothalamus and pituitary gland in response to pain or stress. They are also called the body's natural pain killers because of their benefits on the body, including relieving pain, reducing stress, improving mood, and triggering a positive feeling. If the body does not produce enough endorphins, there may be an increased risk of depression, trouble sleeping, depression, anxiety, and increased pain and discomfort.
