That's like taking paracetamol for a permanent headache. It's effectiveness will wane and over time you'll need stronger and stronger anaesthetics. It's to treat the symptoms rather than the cause.

any variety of things that you experience in life? are you trying to imply that you know the root cause for every case?

And if you were to stop, you might feel a desire to go back on it, due to the lack of free dopamine it gives you. No matter how 'strong' that addiction is that psychological want for it can cause relapse
