Having enough serotonin definitely helps in coping with the pain of polymyalgia and to be able to focus on what you need to do physically to take care of yourself. Lack of serotonin is more likely a cause of depression, lack of focus on life changes during divorce or other stressful events.

How do you measure serotonin deficiancey?

Serotonin--a chemical in the brain that regulates mood, sleep, appetite and aggression--is difficult to measure. It is not possible to directly measure levels of serotonin in the brain of a living person. Because the cells that produce serotonin either reabsorb it or release it into the bloodstream, where it breaks down into different compounds, researchers have developed a test that can measure the amount of these compounds in the blood to estimate serotonin levels. Only a doctor can perform these tests. Interestingly, doctors test for these compounds because they are leading indicators of a specific type of cancer in the digestive system--not for depression or mental health.
