What is going on in the brain when we are
addicted?
When a person uses drugs, they stimulate the
brain's reward system, which is responsible for
feelings of pleasure and motivation. This causes
the release of large amounts of dopamine, a
neurotransmitter that is associated with pleasure
and reward. Over time, repeated drug use can
cause changes in the brain's structure and
function. These changes can affect the brain's
ability to regulate mood, control impulses, and
make decisions. They can also lead to the
development of tolerance, which means that more
of the drug is needed to achieve the same level
of pleasure or relief.

What after repeated use? Drug addiction can
affect other neurotransmitter systems in the
brain, including those that regulate stress and
anxiety. This can lead to a cycle of drug use as
a way to cope with negative emotions, which can
further reinforce addiction. In addition to
changes in brain function, drug addiction can
also cause physical changes in the brain. For
example, long-term drug use can lead to the loss
of gray matter, which is responsible for
processing information in the brain. This can
result in cognitive deficits, including problems
with memory, attention, and decision-making.
