Searching for Serotonin

I was 8 when I touched my mother’s dead body. My dad then becoming an absent-minded, emotionally distant alcoholic and being teased for my weight at school and at home are a few memories I address that conspired together to bring me to my hospitalization in the psych ward where we begin our journey. Searching for Serotonin takes you through my memories to reveal a closer look in the mind and life of someone with a painful past fighting to have a beautiful future. Death, neglect, bullying, mental illness and more; can a person with trauma still find happiness after experiencing hardship?
