  • Summary

  • Is social media hijacking your brain? In this episode of Mind Theory, we explore the dopamine trap—how platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter are engineered to trigger our brain’s reward system and keep us coming back for more. We’ll break down the neuroscience of dopamine, explain why endless scrolling is so addictive, and discuss how this overstimulation affects your attention, productivity, and mental health. Whether you’ve noticed yourself getting hooked or are curious about social media’s grip on society, this episode offers scientific insights and practical takeaways to help you understand—and perhaps escape—the dopamine loop.
