Addictive Behaviour

Do you have an addictive personality? Do you drink alcohol to excess? Take Drugs? Exercise too much? This may be your way of self medicating and often your dopamine, or lack thereof, is the cause. By understanding your dopamine production you can make significant changes to your lifestyle. Addiction is often linked to trauma and can be exacerbated by genetics and the environment. Improving methylation has been shown to assist with changing the reward and decision making regions of the brain and reduce addictive behaviours.
