Can you increase dopamine without becoming psychotic

I read an article called “Low Dopamine Levels: Symptoms and Adverse Reactions”. I have 90% of the symptoms listed under low dopamine symptoms, which makes me wonder if there is a way we can increase dopamine without becoming psychotic.

I heard the frontal part of the brain should have fairly high dopamine, otherwise one would have negative symptoms. But if you try to raise dopamine levels it would also increase dopamine in the mesolymbic pathway, which can cause psychosis.

Any thoughts on this?

NAC, meditation and exercise all boost dopamine levels. Why don’t you try them and find out? It works for me.
