Comment on Video game addiction in teens likely stems from preexisting mental health issues
knight_alva@lemmy.world 2 days agoYou aren’t completely wrong but what you are saying is wildly overly reductive. Yes nutrient deficiencies can cause many symptoms which overlap with mental health disorders such as ADHD and can often lead to similar dopamine seeking behaviors, but it is wildly inappropriate to observe a person’s disorderly behavior and conclude that the condition is dietary. It’s just not that simple.

From my producer’s research, he thinks it’s a good idea to seek dopamine by being outside and getting exercise. Otherwise, it might be a serotonin toxicity from being inside a lot (cabin fever I think), and that can be fixed by doing what I described to get your dopamine levels up.

I’m getting the impression that your producer isn’t remotely qualified to be making these claims.

This video might be what you’re looking for, especially since my producer knew that dopamine wasn’t the issue: it was serotonin toxicity potentially (or just a bad lifestyle): inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=0AQ99C1SWps
