Do hormonal changes affect consciousness, or the other way round, or both support each other? For example a person sees an attractive opposite sex and the body undergoes certain chemical reaction. Same goes for adrenalin. When a person sees a tiger coming his way, he experiences adrenalin rush. Adrenalin is a chemical substance produced in our body to prepare ourselves for fight-or-flight response when we are under threat. Be it hormonal changes or adrenalin, these bio-chemical substances do affect our consciousness to a certain degree.
