Hormones: The Inside Story Society for Endocrinology

In this episode, Georgia Mills goes on the hunt for happy hormones. Is there a chemical recipe for long-term happiness, and what are the various mood molecules really doing? Plus, an investigation into oxytocin: is it really the biological basis of love?
