Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that plays a key role in regulating pleasure and reward-seeking behavior. It is produced naturally in the brain and helps motivate behaviors that are important for survival, like eating and sex. Dopamine is released when we anticipate or experience rewards, helping us learn behaviors we should repeat. It counters the stress hormone cortisol during threatening situations by triggering the body's fight-or-flight response. Artificially increasing dopamine through drugs or other substances can damage the brain's natural reward system over time. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and engaging in rewarding activities is important for managing stress and keeping dopamine levels balanced.
