Breaking Down Love

According to a team of scientists led by Dr. Helen Fisher, romantic love can be broken down into three categories:

  • lust - driven by testosterone and estrogen
  • attraction - created by dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin
  • attachment - mediated by oxytocin and vasopressin

Though there are overlaps and subtleties to each, each type is characterized by its own set of hormones stemming from the brain.
