Check this out;
"Dopamine is strongly associated with risk-taking behavior. Dopamine makes one more prone to taking risks and it works vice versa as well – taking risks increases dopamine.
If dopamine increases risk taking behaviour, why would taking a dopamine agonist help? I'm confused...

- Dopamine agonists are used in pathological gambling, compulsive sexual behavior, and compulsive buying (study).
- This experiment found out that high levels of dopamine leads to increased risk-taking.
- An experiment found out that dopamine is linked to risk-taking.
- This study found out that declining dopamine levels is the reason older people take less risks.
- Risk-taking and sensation-seeking is once again linked to dopamine in the brain, specifically D2 receptors (study).
- Then in another study dopamine is linked to an increased risk for substance and gambling addictions."
