Description

Description:

Anthropologist Helen Fisher discusses the brain networks associated with romantic love to explain frustration attraction, abandonment, rage, the despair response, love, addiction, stalking, love, suicide and other phenomena associated with romantic rejection. She concludes that long term use of serotonin-enhancing antidepressants can jeopardize romantic love and attachment to a mate.

Educational Objectives:

  1. To name the three primary brain systems for mating and reproduction.
  2. To describe how serotonin-enhancing antidepressants can affect brain pathways to jeopardize feeling of romance and attachment.
