Dopamine detox is often promoted as a way to reset your brain, boost motivation, and regain control — but what if you’re already feeling low, numb, or depressed?

In this Psych2Go video, we explore why dopamine detox can sometimes backfire for people with depression, and why removing stimulation and pleasure isn’t always the healthiest choice.
