It is important to note that there is no single cause of mental illness, and neurotransmitter imbalances may be just one of several factors that contribute to their development. In addition to mental health complications, neurotransmitter imbalances can also contribute to a range of physical health problems. For example, serotonin is a neurotransmitter that is often implicated in depression, but it also plays a role in regulating digestion, blood clotting, and bone density. Low levels of serotonin have been linked to irritable bowel syndrome (ibs), osteoporosis, and bleeding disorders.
