Why do we feel extremely happy or pleasant when we think about someone or something you like or love?
In: Biology
It’s called Serotonin and dopamine. They are chemicals that your body produces which affect your brain.
When you see or think of something that brings you happiness, your body triggers the production and utilization of these chemicals, making you happy.
These are frequently learned responses. Our brains are wired to make us do things that we enjoy. When something or someone triggers those events that we enjoy, almost addictively, your body craves it more.
Additional fact: clinical depression is the lack of ability for your body to make these chemicals in as high amounts as a neurotypical person.
