### Comment:
Huh, never thought of the addiction potential of cortisol by looks like its dysregulation can be a component of addiction. Always thought dopamine it's the main neurotransmitter involved.

### REPLY:
For cognitively normal people, yes. I guess technically dopamine always is, but masochists get a release of dopamine when they get a rush of cortisol? I am not a biologist so don't ask me about the chemical reactions of a masochist lol
