The Science of Addiction: How Addiction Forms & Causes Depression


Listen Later

Bakit tayo naaadik sa mga bagay na alam naman nating hindi maganda para sa atin? At bakit may ibang tao na ginagawa rin naman ‘to, pero hindi sila naaadik?


In this episode, I talk about:

• What addiction really is (beyond willpower and discipline)

• The dopamine cycle and how addiction actually develops

• The connection between addiction and depression

• My personal experience with porn addiction

• Why understanding the root cause changes everything


Hindi lang pala ito simpleng “kulang sa control.” May biological process na nangyayari sa utak natin, lalo na when dopamine spikes, crashes, and eventually shifts our baseline over time.


I also share how easy access, accompanied by frequency, plays a huge role, and why learning to sit with boredom might be one of the most important things we can do today.


If you’re currently struggling with any form of addiction or just trying to understand your own patterns better, this episode is for you.


You’re not alone.
