People who are depressed are more likely to eat chocolate to feel better. Which of the following explains this mood change?

The brains of depressed people produce too little serotonin, and eating chocolate increases the amount of this neurotransmitter in the brain.

The perception of a depressed person is negative, and the dopamine in chocolate makes the brain have a positive perspective.

Certain memories may be the cause of depression, and eating chocolate effects norepinephrine levels and minimizes the ability to remember.

Depressed people have too little acetylcholine, so they feel lethargic, and the caffeine in chocolate gives them energy.
