What happens in the brain during a crush?
In: 531
From what I’ve read, when you start crushing on somebody, your brain is flooded with two primary feel good chemicals: norepinephrine and dopamine.
The simple explanation is that norepinephrine effects how your body feels; the butterflies, heart fluttering.
The dopamine effects your mood.
These chemicals get released each time you interact with this person , be it in person or simply getting a text.
Coincidentally these are the same chemicals involved in drug addiction, except in this case, you’re becoming addicted to a person.
