A member asked:
I found out what dopamine is and i know it makes you feel happy. but do you need it to survive, what do you recommend?

Dopamine: Dopamine is a natural product produced in the brain. I am not sure about the "happiness" factor but it is critical for the ability to control your muscles. Loss of natural Dopamine over time leads to a syndrome called parkinson's disease.
