There's also this psychiatrist named Dr. Cameron, S-E-P-A-H, I guess, SEPA?
Is that how you'd say it?
Okay, one of those three.
Who came out and said, all right, Dr.
There's this term that I'm going to float out there, and it's called a dopamine fast.
And the idea when that was floated was people heard that and they said, oh, well, dopamine just means โ it's just a catch-all term basically for โ
for any sort of addictive behavior, like reinforcement.
And you can go on a dopamine fast and like, you know, put that social media app down for a couple of weeks.
And when you come back, it's just going to like your brain's going to have a little rest from that thing.
And you're going to feel amazing about how much you love it when you come back.
And that's not at all what Dr. Cameron was talking about or meant.
Yeah, I think the idea that he was talking about was, hey,
Put that stuff down and go do other things that you find pleasure in.
Live in the world or go out in nature or, you know, kind of get a hold of your life again so you don't feel like you're, you know, tied to this social media app for your happiness.
