The brain’s “feel good” chemical

How does one unlock this feature?

Sex and masturbation.

Drugs, and sugar.

Exercise.

Music.

Puppies.

Laughing.

That should get you started.

Not yet, unfortunately... But knowing more about what might be happening in the brain to cause it increases the probability that a cure will be found.
