Dopamine is a key neurotransmitter that regulates motivation, learning, and mood. Imbalances in dopamine can lead to various issues, including depression, anxiety, and addiction. Strategies to naturally increase dopamine include a balanced diet, exercise, sleep, and reducing stress. Key moments: 02:24 Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in motivation, memory, and learning. Its levels can impact various bodily functions and interactions with other neurotransmitters, affecting overall health and well-being. -Interactions between dopamine and other neurotransmitters like serotonin, norepinephrine, and Gaba can influence mental health and sleep patterns. -The impact of dopamine on insulin production, food intake, and serotonin levels highlights its role in regulating mood and behavior through dietary choices. -Dopamine's effects on gastrointestinal motility, inflammation, and muscle movements demonstrate its broad influence on physical health beyond the brain. 08:09 Dopamine plays a crucial role in motivation, attention, and learning. Different dopamine receptors like D1 and D2 impact neuronal growth, behavior, and decision-making processes, affecting conditions like Parkinson's disease and addiction. -Impact of dopamine on motivation, attention, and learning processes. -Role of dopamine receptors like D1 and D2 in neuronal growth, behavior, and decision-making. -Connection between dopamine and conditions such as Parkinson's disease and addiction. 16:13 Low dopamine levels can lead to issues like depression and addiction, impacting motivation and pleasure. Anti-depressants may not directly enhance dopamine, requiring a holistic approach to address underlying physiological imbalances. -The role of D2 receptors in stimulating dopaminergic transmission in obese individuals and its link to pathological eating habits. -The impact of decreased dopamine in major depressive disorder patients on fear processing and the challenges in addressing low dopamine levels with current anti-depressants. -The importance of considering physiological factors like thyroid function and hormonal balance in treating depression, as solely relying on anti-depressants may not address underlying issues. 24:19 Dopamine levels can impact various aspects of mental health, from depression to anxiety disorders, and even influence sleep patterns and social interactions. Understanding dopamine's role is crucial in addressing conditions like addiction and PTSD. -Impact of dopamine on mental health, including depression and anxiety disorders, is significant and complex. -Dopamine levels can affect sleep quality and social anxiety, highlighting the importance of dopamine balance. -The interplay between dopamine and oxytocin, and their impact on motivation and social interactions, is crucial in addiction recovery and mental health treatment. 32:23 Chronic elevation of dopamine and serotonin in addiction leads to structural brain changes, tolerance, and neuronal death, impacting mental health and addiction development. -The impact of low dopamine levels on PTSD and addiction susceptibility. -Genetic differences in dopamine receptors affecting stimulant appeal and addiction risk. -Structural brain changes, tolerance, and hormonal interactions in addiction. 40:27 As people age, changes in hormone levels impact neurotransmitter levels, making it harder to think, remember, and form words. Dopamine, glutamate, and GABA play crucial roles in modulating brain function and can affect mood, motivation, and behavior. -The interplay between hormone levels, neurotransmitters, and cognitive function in older individuals. Hormonal changes can lead to cognitive challenges and slower mental processes. -The role of dopamine, glutamate, and GABA in modulating brain function. These neurotransmitters influence mood, motivation, and behavior, impacting mental health and cognitive abilities. -Symptoms of dopamine insufficiency and its link to depression.

It is worthwhile to get a blood test for vitamin D and vitamin B12 if you have never had it checked so that you know early better than too late. Good Nutrition is the best medicine and testing your body chemistry is good insurance.
Great video 👍👍. What is the normal number to be in for vitamin D?

With exposure and response therapy and the mental contamination cognitions that are addressed, are clients able to distinguish different pathogens from covid? Meaning, if they're aware the bacteria during the exposure is not covid does that help address to cognition?
Hold on- are you saying that ADHD is caused by too MUCH dopamine? I’ve always been told that ADHD is caused by a dopamine deficiency. Now I’m super confused! Research suggests that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is caused by a dopamine deficiency, or a dysfunctional dopamine system in the brain. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that plays a role in many body functions, including motivation, reward, and attention. People with ADHD may have lower levels of dopamine in the parts of the brain that control these functions. This could be due to a combination of factors, including genetics, environment, brain function, or having too many dopamine transporters.

I watch to understand him and be there to support and help him heal.
I think that’s really admirable. Thanks for watching
Almost 40 and just realizing I may be codependent. Grew up in a broken, highly physically and emotionally abusive home with a mentally ill parent. I'm dealing with bad depression as a wife and mother even tho I'd say my life is considered pretty idyllic. But I'm realizing my pattern of doing everything I possibly can to gain love and approval through works and self sacrifice and never feeling enough. I have no clue what I like for myself. I just morph into what others like. I'm simply exhausted. Was put on SSRI a few years ago and honestly can't say it's helped all that much. Will therapy really help me?
I am sorry about that and I appreciate you watching the video. Research suggests therapy might be helpful for you
Thanks for this video and all of the information provided. I'm just starting a relationship with someone who shared with me that she has a cPTSD diagnosis, so I'm trying to get up to speed on both cPTSD and how I can navigate the relationship and be supportive to her. This is all very helpful.
I am grateful to have been of service and I appreciate you watching the video

i dont know how to fix my behavior, or rather i dont know how to heal and detach from the negative portions of my childhood. i lash out at my boyfriend over nothing the way my parents used to lash out at me. i do it without feeling any emotion aside from adrenaline in my chest and i basically black out during it, and afterwards i just feel terrible and am so aware of what i did. i do this so often now and i just dont know what to do. when i dont get a response quickly enough i tell him i dont want to see him and that he is a terrible person. i have never been as bad as i am now and i am so aware of it but its still getting worse as the days go by
I am sorry about that and I appreciate you watching the video
A boost in dopamine through highly stimulating activities such as social media use and gaming can reduce serotonin levels, leading to a temporary feeling of happiness but increasing the long-term risk of depression and anxiety.
Thanks for watching the video
I am a NARCISSTIC abuse survivor Of both parents and they are deceased. Any ideas for therapy?

I appreciate you making this video. I was a maintenance drinker and the first 2 weeks of not drinking were not nearly as bad as how I feel now. Acute withdrawal was bad, but what I'm going through now is mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmuch worse! I have a feeling I'm not the only one who feels this way.
I am sorry about that and I appreciate you watching the video

As a trainee psychotherapist I also think that a year with a client is ample time to kit them up with enough tools to release them back into the world safely. Transference, dependence and other attachment complications may also be caused by extended contact, mainly in clients who started out with minor of mild symptoms of trauma. There's many good reasons why many cultures allocated 12 months or 4 seasons to overcoming grief, and thereafter many people often found themselves readjusting to useful lives.

It's worse when the one you care about is making a decision which will likely result in a harm to them by someone else. This has been their pattern for years. Accepting what I can't control is proving the most difficult hurdle for me to overcome.
Thanks for watching the video
I am dating one but its so toxic he is sobtaging the relationship and hurting me so much I dont know how to help him anymore. He constantly thinking i will leave or cheat that he has become so controlling and picking fights over the smallest thing. Im constantly under a miscope. I cant do anything right. He finds fault in everything. What do i do? im at the edge of leaving but I love him. He wont go to therapy. I feel like I have no choice but to giveup on him since he doest want to help himself.
I am sorry about that and I appreciate you watching the video
Every time I tell my parents what causes me anxiety and stress they just do it more or say I’m being disrespectful. I know they went thru severe trauma but I can’t continue dealing with them. After years of counseling I was able to remove myself. I had such a hard time self regulating and therapy was a game changer for me.
I am sorry about that and I appreciate you watching the video
Its so fucking exhausting 😔
I am sorry BPD is exhausting and I appreciate you watching the video
I love you doc 🧘🏽💕🚬
Awww. Thank you. I love and appreciate you
How to stop ruminating about your freeze response?
No wonder that people fall in love with their therapist. It's not a normal or healthy relationship, when someone doesn't reflect on your thoughts, with their own opinions, but always accommodate you. No real partner can deliver that.
Therapists are trained to be empathic and actively listen to our issues but if they work relationally they will gently confront and challenge. But true it’s meant to be a safe container.
Thanks for watching the video
How do we get back our balance
Yes ❤ I love you doc, but I know you're married and he is a very blessed man ❤😂😊

Yes I need to leave my house and husband
I’m drained emotionally and I’m beat down but I don’t sleep at all. But holding it all in is not healthy either right
I feel anger then sadly disappointed and I can’t sleep
