• What is adrenaline? - A hormone released when we feel any sort of stress, fear or excitement that prepares body for dangerous situations which plays role in putting body into 'fight or flight' response. It helps us overcome challenges and survive hazardou situations, but is very addictive. • How does Adrenaline addiction work? - Dopamine, 'the reward hormone', often gets released alongside adrenaline, which makes our stressful or exciting situation be pleasing and euphoric experience that reinforces this action and creates loop. • How does it develop? - The addiction starts very simple, with truly just few stressful situations just like finishing assignment on last minute or going to school/work slightly late, then speeding just slightly, but not anymore because you are in a hurry, but because you want the adrenaline rush. These things slowly, or quickly, pile up and truly dangerous behaviours get reinforced, wanted. This process will repeat itself untill the addiction becomes life threatning.
