I have a hypomanic episode again, this is very annoying

I understand that the body's chemistry is very sensitive. There are neurotransmitters in the brain that have an influence on mood, like serotonin and dopamine.

There's been talk about the brain-gut connection in recent years, because the gut is a large producer of serotonin, and let's say if you have gut issues, that will influence the gut's ability to produce the right amount of serotonin for the brain, and that would have an influence your mood. 

I mean, low levels of serotonin can cause depression, anxiety, and trouble sleeping, which is why some antidepressants (SSRI) would allow the brain to build up serotonin levels, which would then change mood. 

However, a diet change can be beneficial as well, because if there's some type of food that's harming the gut, which impacts the body's ability to produce serotonin and a lot of other things, then getting rid of the food would improve health.  But it doesn't always have to be food, it could be from bad habits. 

But there's a lot of other things that can be impacting the body, and sometimes not even a diet change, or antidepressants can solve, and medical intervention is needed. I mean a doctor's advice would be best.

Thank you! Science is my restricted interest.

My restricted interests are very broad, that is why this symptom of ASD is more socially acceptable.
