The most destructive habit that will lead to a dopamine deficiency is masturbation, especially if it involves pornography. If you have an addiction to either, it will act as a drug and your brain will alter dramatically and deplete you of dopamine. I suffer from dysthymia along with bouts of major double depression. Eliminating sexually addictions has helped me immensely after battling years of depression.

These articles never mention which doctors or clinics will address or test for deficiencies. Even at UCLA, my psychiatrists (I’ve had a few different ones) showed no interest in addressing root causes, preferring only to prescribe the common drugs. Where are the doctors who apply this research?

This is helpful. I went to my doctor with depression, I believe low dopamine, he just wanted me to take a pill. I am going to try all of the above. Thanks again

2-3 cups of coffee at work give me a buzz that makes me feel positive, sociable, and productive. Pre-workout drinks on an empty stomach also give me sustained energy and focus. I’ll have to try multi-vitamins to see if they work on my anxiety.
