Methamphetamine is highly addictive because it
rapidly releases dopamine in the brain, leading to intense euphoria, increased energy, and heightened alertness. However,
prolonged use results in the brain's diminished ability to produce dopamine naturally, causing severe cognitive deficits, emotional instability, and a high potential for addiction.
The drug’s easy availability and the quick onset of its effects often lead to rapid addiction development.
Withdrawal symptoms, including fatigue, severe cravings, depression, and anxiety, can make it extremely difficult for users to quit without professional support.
