Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that influences mood. Increasing serotonin levels may help with mood swings. Getting it right can be tricky. Simple carbohydrates, such as candy, have the highest impact but the increase lasts one to two hours. Serotonin is synthesized from tryptophan, which is an essential amino acid. The best sources of tryptophan include brown rice, cottage cheese, meat, peanuts and sesame seeds.
