Dopamine addiction !!! Due to Social Media and how it leads to stress and anxiety .

Anna Lembke's Dopamine Nation explores the neuroscience of addiction, arguing that it stems from an imbalance between pleasure and pain in the brain's reward system. The book uses patient case studies to illustrate how this imbalance manifests in various compulsive behaviours, from sex addiction to excessive reading. Lembke proposes a "DOPAMINE" framework for recovery, emphasising abstinence, mindfulness, insight, and the pursuit of pain as methods to restore balance. She also examines the societal factors that contribute to widespread addiction, such as increased access to potent substances and the influence of technology. Finally, the book discusses the role of medications and the complexities of using them to manage addiction.
