Dopamine and Addiction
Submitted by Gary Wilson on Tue, 12/07/2010 - 19:35
The neurochemical dopamine is the central player in all addictions.
Dopamine will be in every article on addiction, reward, motivation, or learning. Dopamine dysregulation is at the heart of porn addiction, cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Restoring normal dopamine function and sensitivity is a key to porn recovery
This section contains both lay articles for the general public, and research articles. If you are not an expert in addiction, I suggest starting with the lay articles, they are marked with an "L"
