Social Media Dopamine. "Use With Caution!"


Social Media is addictive.

Researches have discovered that social media causes the human brain to secrete dopamine, which is the "feel-good hormone". And this is one reason why people become addicted to social media.

To learn more about dopamine being secreted when a person engages in social media, do a search on: "social media dopamine"

The Internet -- while being an effective communication tool -- is also a huge distraction as people get addicted to social media, gaming, etc. 

Researchers have proven that a major factor causing the addiction is the brain's secretion of dopamine when engaged in those activities.

As the saying goes, "Use with caution!"
