aDiversa podcast reflects in the Friday (14th) episode of the book “The Dopamine Nation: Why Too Much Pleasure Makes Us Unhappy and What We Can Do About It”in which physician Anna Lembke, psychiatrist and professor at Stanford University School of Medicine in the United States, explains why the relentless pursuit of pleasure produces more pain than happiness and the role of brain chemistry in this process.
Despite receiving stimuli of pleasure and euphoria in large doses, the level of anxiety and depression around the world is only increasing. But what explains this correlation?
Rachel Schlindweinz Zanini, Coordinator of the Neuropsychology Core at UFSC University Hospital (Federal University of Santa Catarina), PhD in Psychology at UFSC with an extension at Harvard, explains what links neurotransmitters, pleasure, unhappiness and frustration. Guest host is ND+ reporter Ana Scholler.
