Read my original guide: "This is not to demonize dopamine; it’s an important brain chemical, and people who are low in it (whether naturally or by taking antipsychotic medications) can be lethargic and anhedonic (taking little interest of pleasure in things). Also, properly-prescribed dopaminergic medications can help people with ADHD & Parkinson's improve their ability to focus and regulate their behavior. Rather, my point is that we may be getting too much of a good thing, especially when dopamine reinforces behaviors that are out of line with our values."
