Usually its just dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine that people discuss, I havent seen any other neurontransmitter being discussed when it comes to mood etc, maybe people are but I havent seen it. Anyway Is there a reason for why these 3 are the most discussed? and also what about other neurotransmitters ? 

I know serotonin makes you feel happy, norepinephrine  is motivation and dopamine Feel Good/reward.

obviously there  is  a lot more to it  im just simplifying.

 

here is a list but I dont know which one to look for

Pretty sure they are. But from what I understand, it all comes down to these three monoamine neurotransmitters anyway that matters the most (plus other ones like glutaminergic/cholinergic/gabaminergic). Things like kappa agonists, NMDA antagonists, Serotonin sub-receptor antagonists; they all essentially increase or modulate dopamine/norepinephrine/serotonin + glutaminergic/cholinergic/gabaminergic neurotransmission through the downstream process.

No. They are not more important then other and they dont just work has modulator of the three known neurotransmitters, glutamate is way more “used” in the brain than dopamine; the reason is that they can be easily targeted to treat common disorders or to get-high: dopamine is the first you find when you look into stims, serotonin has been advertised by antidepressants when the first ssir came and same thing happend to norepinephrine when the first srni was released.
