  4. Fluctuating estrogen affects emotional sensitivity.
  5. Exercise boosts endorphins and balances stress hormones.
  6. Sleep restores serotonin and melatonin levels for calm.
  7. The brain and endocrine system constantly share feedback.
  8. Hormonal shifts during adolescence intensify emotional swings.
  9. Meditation can reduce cortisol and improve mood stability.
  10. Emotions aren’t random—they’re chemically orchestrated.
