IT KINDA TAKES A PSYCHOLOGIST THAT HAS BEEN THRO THE ADDICTION TO ACTUALLY KNOW HOW TO HELP OTHERS Comment from : The Edge

This guy gets it… if people only respected drugs for what they are, instead of treating “addicts” lk they are weak, understand how strong drugs are and how much your brain likes them The first step is admitting you wouldn’t be able to hang if it happened to you… Comment from : snufbeats

The functional addicts have some secrets We need to study them Comment from : Mail

If I haven't have read on this topic before, I would have been very confused after watching this video I don't think he did a good job explaining Comment from : Martin Kunev

Guy still does not understand drug stuff he makes it seem like it is "fun" or "like it" think its more a normalisaiton to normal human otherwise a endless depression/very bad day but who knows maybe its different thatn adhd Comment from : Hans Kraut

True its totally ignored or strawmanned by people dont caring if it does not affect ther healthy lifestyle 0 compassion just more violence as a solution I mean psychaitry finetuning/tiltration is terrible and drugs are just taken for selfmedication and taking them away might make things worse for some (speculation) which would make it even more ironic Comment from : Hans Kraut

What about antipsychotics? Comment from : Trabajo progreso y conocimiento

This makes me infinitely prouder of anybody who beat a drug addiction or is even trying to Comment from : bangtan x

This is what I've come to figure out The drug is in control of the person The person is not in control of the drug no matter what It's the drug that over rides the common sense ability It over rides the ability to care about their selves We can see what they are doing to their selves because we have that ability to reason Except how to keep them from using the drug Comment from : Sally Rowe

The human experience is wild Truly excellent talk Why don't more people know this? Guessing it's because of money one way or another Addicts are easy to take advantage of and America loves that Comment from : Ryan

Wow! No one wants to give up their phones! We’re all addicts! It’s like people who say coffee isn’t a drug Every form of escapism triggers the same dopamine response in regular intervals Comment from : Ian Blank

Should music have a big role to making dopamine? Comment from : Naman Jain

Brilliant , it is chemically controlled, until we change the chemical DNA instead of locking people up, the cycle will unfortunately carry on Comment from : Francois Winn

I could be wrong but it seems that operating with high levels of dopamine helps with manifesting Comment from : Kardeo

So, basically war on drugs is a defending mechanics of society to be able to get that "cheeseburger" at costs of harm to people that took drugs Comment from : Барсук Грол

I guess I'm able to theories that it's possible to make your dopamine tolerance so low that you could get yourself addicted to any lifestyle you'd want Comment from : Chanie M

Good content but bad presentation Comment from : CS Mania

probably the worst ted talk ive ever seen its so clearly coming from someone who does not understand how internet addiction works or how apps/social media are designed its not only poorly explained but repetitive the only good take is that "[addiction] is not a moral failing but a biological one" comparing addictions as in "who has it the hardest" is so shortsighted, especially from someone who researches and works on the field Comment from : Mirbank

I have a question, the dopamine is only creating anticipation of pleasure and not on consumption of the substance but than what is creating the next craving, what is keeping the loop from not going extinct? brbrIs the dopamine anticipation from previous drug use, creating the next instance of drug use and keeping the addiction loop alive? Comment from : Kupamanduka

Thank you! Comment from : I Eat Crayons

An unexpected cheeseburger gives you dopamine Comment from : Dhani Reddy

“You still have control over your own decisions or behavior” as someone with ADHD I disagree It feels like I can get addicted to anything Take the people on the show my 600 lb life for example, these people are killing themselves with food, yet they don’t stop eating cheeseburgers because they are addicted Comment from : blargithonify

1:55 - i am addicted to my phone, i also am severely addicted to alcohol I was also addicted to nicotine And i can confirm, drug addiction and phone addiction IS THE SAME THING I can't control any of it, feel torture when abstaining, they use the SAME mechanism Comment from : Vote For Ham Sandwich

Don't get it, drugs are like 1000 times addictive than phone, you didn't know that? Why game addiction we can't relate to drugs, if it's same, but on 1000 lvl just higher Comment from : ololoshka

Nope Comment from : Rosanna Miller

I agree with the final thesis “Addiction is not a moral problem but a biological one” The issue is that many addicts act immorally The two issues get confused Comment from : Daniel Nally

This was incredibly insightful Comment from : Rogue Calvinist

after 3 decades as an addict who is finding freedom slowly but surely, I would rather say that it's both a moral and biological crisis at the same time Comment from : Just_Bee

so im addicted to meth and as far as i know, im a good man at heart and im not a criminal but i am struggling and have been for 15years give this guy an award for stating the most important perspective on reality i live in i dont want to be doing this to myself, but its still constant Comment from : Kevin Swope

"Addicts want the drug far more than you can ever want your Iphone or Facebook It's not because they like the drugs it's because when they take those big doses of drugs ,those doses of drugs are teaching their brain to seek out more and more drugs no matter the cost"brbrWanting vs liking explained perfectly and how wanting does not mean liking Comment from : Kupamanduka

it helps alot Comment from : The Observer

"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son (Jesus), that whoever believes on Him shall not perish but have eternal life" John 3:16 Follow Jesus friends Jesus heals and saves Addictions are tough and I'm sorry y'all are going through it, but He will comfort and help you by walking in God's Holy Spirit Comment from : bball17

People in the audience would have definitely bought cheeseburgers after this show Comment from : Anurag Kaushish

I would like to start a conversation about the stigma surrounding prescribing stimulant medications to individuals suffering from Methamphetamine addiction, particularly those self-medicating ADHD symptoms We have Methadone and Suboxone as medically assisted treatments, so why are we so opposed to prescribing Adderall to someone who needed it to begin with for their dopamine deficiency? I’ve seen countless lives ruined and I can’t help but wonder if a proper prescription would have helped wean them off this terribly addictive street drug Comment from : Samantha Barron

You can say that games, movies and social media are natural way of releasing dopamine and feeling good brWhile, drugs and alcohol are artificial one Comment from : Anupam Bhise

Addicted to smoking, cannabis, alcohol AND working out Seems my brain is hard wired to dopamine Comment from : Antony Lynn

Joe Perra talks to you about addiction Comment from : Joseph Malter

This was really interesting, there is still so much stigma around addiction that it makes it so much harder to get help, there's other people (random Karen's) who suddenly think it's in their place to tell you what a failure you are- just because you made a mistake Comment from : Duala peepa

Please whosoever watches this videos make a summary so that one who is busy can take some of the information 😎 Comment from : Aayush X3

So how would you solve this issue? Reinforce normal behaviors by scheduling a productive routine that encourages the body and mind to seek out food and working out in place of the drug? I often use coffee and sometimes 1mg of nicotine and I’m not sure if I’m addicted but it’s certainly helped me to reinforce better habits such a social connections and motivation I don’t know if I an addiction or if I’m just using therapeutic doses of both substances to feel slightly better Comment from : Jaden Zaitshik

Dopamine spikes aren't forcing you to take anything nor are they preventing you from giving it up Comment from : Horatio

Mental health is really misunderstood Words like schizophrenia, addiction, crazy are all lazy words which perpetuate myths and dangerous misconceptions about real stuff Comment from : I C

I wonder how it is for coffee lol Comment from : Joe Gallo

measure the dopamine spikes of a video game playing World of Warcraft Classic, finding better items while leveling and from a raid would be interesting to see how it fits on the graph Comment from : BadWolf

This was what I suspected and it's great to know the research backs it up I was thinking about how people's reasons for taking substances can be very different, even for the same drugs, and I figured dopamine was involved I've noticed some of my friends are sensation-seeking type people, and some are more sensation-avoiding With ADHD and its improperly regulated dopamine, I find myself as the seeking type My sister, however, is a long-term addict and sensation-avoiding (avoiding emotions, memories of trauma, etc) brMy mom has a misconception that my sister seeks drugs because they're pleasurable and buzzy, which causes her to grossly oversimply addiction She can't understand how my sister can't stop, but what I've been trying to explain is that even though pleasure-seeking is how bwe/b experience drugs, people with hardcore addiction like my sister wouldn't uproot their whole lives if this was just about "liking" something My observation is that most hardcore addicts have at least some aspect of self-medicating away unpleasant sensations, not just seeking buzzy ones Comment from : Tika

Writing my dissertation on social media 'addiction' and this has completely flipped my view and is incredibly enlightening It's similar mechanics but at a completely different scale, would that be fair to say? Very helpful anyway, thanks for this Comment from : HOLLY

From a psychologist working with addicts: while not easy to understand, this is a hugely important talk that needs way more exposure Comment from : Otis Oblomov

Now I want not only a cheeseburger but drugs too😤 Comment from : Wild like it’s supposed to be

So liking the drugs has nothing to do with addiction They want the drugs because the drugs condition the brain to want the drugs, by stimulating the reward centers, which reinforces the drug-seeking Comment from : Cathleen Rocco

So yoy are saying that if I do morphine I'll be x50 times happier than eating a cheeseburger, and it'll last 200x times more?brGot it! Comment from : tatoxl

I'm not sure if it's me, but the editing makes this really hard to watch (the camera switches where it makes it seem like they've cut out things?) Comment from : Tom Jones
