A member asked:
Why do i seem to become a lot more attractive to my perception of myself when i come out of psychosis? is it because of the lowered dopamine levels?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not sure: Perhaps you had a more distorted self- perception when you were psychotic -that has now normalized. Dopamine can cause pleasure.
