I heard something about this on NPR today but came in on the middle of the conversation so was not sure who they were talking to. I’m still reading the last book you suggested. Keep the good info coming.

Ola! Dadonfire,
This question may be a little off-topic, Under mild stress, women have eight times the blood flow through the emotional center of the brain as compared to men. The neurotransmitter Serotonin is needed to calm down this emotional center. Men make 50% more and can store 50% more Serotonin than women. As you can see, this shows why women run out of Serotonin quicker than men.
