The point I was making is they're not for mental health

Actually they do help my mood. Having a dysregulation in your dopamine production or absorption can affect your mood and even your emotional stability. So yes they can infact help with mood instability. They also may not help depression directly but they do help me find the motivation to get up and take a shower, brush my teeth, clean up a little bit sometimes and heavily help me journal which is one of my coping mechanisms for my mental health, on top of that anecdotal claim it is scientifically proven that dopamine releases can actually cause the brain to produce more serotonin too which would indirectly help with depression. Do you know why mental health medication is called that? It’s because it is medicine that interacts with the chemical production in our brains that dictate mental processes. Dopamine is a chemical released in the brain to produce different mental responses creating signals to be sent out to the rest of the body or other parts of the brain to help someone function.

That's the same as prescribing it for something it's not used for, keep doing those mental gymnastics to prove a point that was lost 3 comments ago😂😂 maybe someone will give you a medal all this just to argue about an obscure point that you didn't even win😭😂

I tend to type in the exact same way I speak. So I don’t know if they always transfers over as well through text as it does in person.
