Everyone Talks About Dopamine. Almost Everyone Gets It Wrong.

In this video, Dr. Sanil Rege, a consultant psychiatrist, sets the record straight on dopamine. You've seen the buzzwords: dopamine hacking, stacking, fasting. But what do they really mean? And why do they often miss the mark?

Correction: 4:33 The correct term is Glycolysis. Glycolysis breaks down glucose to produce energy and pyruvate, while gluconeogenesis synthesizes glucose from non-carbohydrate sources to maintain blood glucose levels, particularly during periods of fasting or starvation.


Dr. Rege breaks down the complexities of dopamine and its role as a crucial neurotransmitter. Forget the oversimplifications; he dives deep into:

1. The Evolution of Dopamine
2. The Discovery of Dopamine's Role in Medicine
3. Common Misunderstandings and the True Role of Dopamine
4. The Risks of Focusing Too Much on Dopamine Optimization
5. How to Improve Well-being Through a Scientific Understanding of Dopamine
6. A Sneak Peek into Narcissism and Dopamine Levels
If you think dopamine is just the "feel-good" button, you're in for a surprise. Dr. Rege explains how this neurotransmitter shapes our behavior, cognition, and activity. He explores the evolutionary journey of dopamine, from motility in ancient organisms to its critical functions in the human brain.

You will also learn about the intricate balance required for optimal dopamine function and why simple hacks don't work. Plus, find out whether individuals with narcissism have low or high dopamine levels.

Join Dr. Rege as he unravels the science behind dopamine, its impact on mental health, and practical ways to enhance your well-being. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe to "Psychiatry Simplified" for more insights into the fascinating world of psychiatry and neuroscience.
