Love is a Natural Drug Addiction. 2022-02-16. Jorma Jyrkkanen.

My Story Love is a Drug in 9,10th April 2008 Goes Global. Jorma Jyrkkanen, BSc, PDP 2022-02-16 February 16, 2022 Love is a Medical Condition, OCLHD. Love Addiction I believe that love is a of obsessive compulsive disorder but since its natural its not exaction a disorder but rather a natural physiological phenomenon. The term I would choose preferably is an obsessive compulsive love hormone dependency OCLHD. I believe that hormones like endorphins, melatonin, oxytocin and seratonin are aroused during love and in thoughts of love and are addictive and losing love causes painful withdrawal symptoms just as a drug addict might experience. This love hormone or natural drug dependency evolved to enable and cement pair bond formation is order to ensure that the resulting progeny’s genes are nurtured and cared for by the couple who share this affliction. It is not so much a disorder but a genetic pathway nature has established through evolution and natural selection to ensure propagation of our species and quite likely most species. Those who love and have well functioning hormone systems will produce more offspring and ensure propagation of their genes and their species which is the measure of fitness nature uses. This raises the intriguing question, can we substitute these hormones during breakup or separation to get over it when reunification becomes impossible?
