The Increase of Dopamine Sources

Dopamine addiction has become a growing problem over the past few years because the sources that generate it increased.

A few years ago, people had to tell you they loved what you were doing. And it didn’t happen that often.

But today, your smartphone connects you to the world. A new like or share of your post would release dopamine you couldn’t experience before.

And likes are not the only problem. Each notification has the potential to trigger a dopamine peak. And since you have tens of apps installed on your phone, even the most useless mail could make you happy.
