Dr. Daniel Amen ON: How to Change Your Life By Changing Your Brain & the Lies About Happiness That Are Increasing Depression

On Purpose with Jay Shetty

NOTE

The Impact of Dopamine and Ways to Drip Dopamine

Habituation to pleasure requires increased dopamine release; fame wears out pleasure centers in the brain. Social media validation can lead to a trap of craving more fame. Dripping dopamine involves noticing micro-moments of happiness like holding a loved one's hand or watching the sunrise/sunset. Sunlight, pumpkin seeds, and omega-3 fatty acids can help drip dopamine. Vegan omega-3 supplements with EPA and DHA are beneficial for mood, focus, and circulation, and can help decrease depression. It's crucial as omega-3s make up 25% of nerve cell membranes in the brain. Mental challenges can often have physical, tangible roots in the brain.
