What happens when we force dopamine release frequently?
In the long run, too much of the happiness hormone dopamine can lead to problems. Repetition accustoms our brain to receiving a certain amount of reward in order to be satisfied. When we release too much dopamine, it can lead to habituation and addiction. With repetitive pleasures such as eating, consuming media like Netflix, social media, YouTube, alcohol, or even frequent sexual activity, the overall baseline level of dopamine drops. The basic dopamine value or the “feel-good level” can therefore decrease as a result of too frequently activated dopamine release.
