The generally misunderstood chemical balance of brain and nervous system.

 On the “Chemical balance of the brain”.


When external drugs are introduced to the nervous system, whether they are medications or recreational drugs, the nervous system takes time to recover its natural chemical balance. This is the mechanism that triggers the abstinence syndrome in cases where the nervous system has become accustomed to external chemicals.

The nervous system is also capable of releasing its own drugs as a reward for health-generating activities that benefit the body.

Although this can lead to addictions such as:

Vigorexia, bulimia, sex addiction...

These natural chemicals are drugs created by the body itself in the corresponding cells following instructions in the DNA.

(Hormones, neurotransmitters are also proteins.)

Amphetamine is an artificial imitation of adrenaline that fits into the same receptor, has similar effects to adrenaline, and was mass-produced in World War II for administration to soldiers.

Its effect is toxic and the dealers distributed it in nightclubs; in order to get rid of the poison, in many cases you have to sweat it out, and in this case its by dancing, perhaps maybe for too long, which led to heart problems as well as violence, insomnia, accidents, etc... Since it was not adrenaline, it produced all kinds of mental and nervous systmen in general issues.

Introducing serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, endorphin, artificially on the basis that people with a normal and healthy life (some sun, sports*, relationships, small achievements) have these chemicals in their blood; not only it doesnt change the lives of people who perhaps had anxiety or depression, it makes it worse; since the function is to reward beneficial behavior for the organism.

Neural networks work based on rewards just like education.

Administering them to people who feel bad is rewarding feeling bad, which leads to a training of the nervous system that will make it prone to feeling bad waiting for its rewards.

Hormones such as cortisol or "stress hormone" also affect, it is not so much the lack of incentives as the excessive punishment for the type of life surely.

In the absence of punishments and incentives, perhaps there is true equilibrium, although the incentives are preferable "any excess is bad".

Rewarding or punishing yourself without reason or having given the conditions is much worse.

*Sports also help to expel toxic agents introduced with food, so this activity may be doubly rewarded.
