How Dopamine works in Human Body 1. Dopamine 2. Drugs 3. Dopamine Deficiency 4. Dopamine Treatments
Introduction Pleasure, happiness, love, excitation, motivation, pain, anxiety, sad, anger, and all emotional feelings related to being human are linked to the chemicals and hormones that trigger the brain. The human body to function properly must have chemicals, hormones and fluids in balance. This state of being in balance is called homeostasis. If one or more of these chemicals falls out of balance from either …show more content…
Meth affects dopamine either by increasing chemical release, or by stopping the metabolism (breakdown) and re-uptake of dopamine. The Methamphetamine’s chemical structure closely resembles these neurotransmitters. Meth can also bind to the nerve receptors and confuse the brain by mimicking certain neurotransmitters. This chain of events creates a dangerous chemical imbalance within the brain and shut down the safety mechanism of the brain for chemical imbalance, resulting in necrosis (nerve cell death) and nerve cell structural change. Taking of Meth produces a rapid pleasurable feeling, increased sexual desire, mood lift, and energy increase, which is followed by feelings of depression and irritability when the drug wears off. Methamphetamine is contracted from N-methyl-alpha-methylphenethylamine; the structure can be d or L stereoisomers based on the stereochemistry of a single chiral carbon atom. Meth has almost the same chemical structure as neurotransmitters, this this why it creates confusion within the brain by acting as …show more content…
This occurs when the brain’s neurons do not produce enough dopamine. According to, MNT (Medical News Today) website, there are a variety of potential causes for this disorder, including chronic stress, nutritional deficiencies, and medical conditions. Adrenal insufficiency, influenza, exposure to environmental toxins or illicit drug use may also lead to a dopamine deficiency. Symptoms of a dopamine deficiency may include depression, weight gain, or extreme levels of fatigue, loss of interest and bad mood. There are diseases related to dopamine deficiency such as Parkinson's disease or thyroid disorders and Dopamine Deficiency Depression
