About this course

Our brain’s reward circuitry strongly influences how we feel, how motivated we are, what our desires are, and it also directs many of our behaviours. When this circuitry goes awry the manifestations are wide and very often, clinically puzzling. Your patients with Reward Deficiency Syndrome are much more susceptible to:

  • Addictions (drugs, alcohol, gambling, shopping, sex, gaming, food)
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • ADHD
  • Eating disorders
  • Risk-taking and novelty-seeking behaviours
  • Low ambition
  • Insomnia and irregular sleep patterns
  • Difficulty maintaining healthy relationships
  • Brain fog
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Difficulty making decisions and delaying gratification.

Reward Deficiency Syndrome is typically a life-long condition when not addressed and beside the mental health issues affects people’s relationships, jobs, finances and their general quality of life is severely diminished. Because of the large range of effects, these people struggle in many aspects of their lives. Dr Jess Armine gives a brilliant overview of the process of Reward Deficiency Syndrome and why these people develop the difficulties and conditions they are presenting with. He also goes into detail on the causes, including the genetic component, and gives a clear outline of what you can do to help them.
