Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is released in the brain as a reward for achieving a goal. Very effective when used properly, but really bad when used wrong.
Many addictive drugs increase dopamine activity, but lots of seemingly harmless things (sugar, social media, video games, etc) effect our dopamine levels in similar ways, and can be linked to anxiety and depression.
Dopamine is not bad. The trick is to get your fix by doing things that are good for you, like achieving goals, creating things, and taking care of yourself and others.
