Emotions and neurotransmitters

How does everyone exist?By sweeping your emotions away?By analysing each and everything so that each thought starts to look like a wet cloth after wringing water out of it?
Depression is described as the 'blues'.I thought blue was a happy colour.How would you rate 'jazz',thet happy-go-lucky music?It is due to Acetylcholine,Dopamine and Norepinephrine imbalances.

Happiness is due,predominantly to Dopamine.When you feel like you want to jump with joy,beware!You are just dopaminising your reactions.It is the same thing that causes sleep,food craving,hunger etc.

Sleep is due to Serotonin and a little contribution by Norepinephrine.All those people fond of sleeping tablets are just drugging themselves with serotonon,albeit indirectly.

Sadness involves the same neurotransmitters as depression in a lesser degree.

Anxiety involves mainly noradrenaline and to a lesser extent serotonin and dopamine.
Which is your favourite neurotransmitter?A bit of research regarding the following can be found below.
