Can porn withdrawal cause psychosis?
My psychosis symptoms begun around the time i tried to quit porn for good. (which was ~3 years ago) i was 22 at the time and had been addicted to porn (daily porn consumption) for at least 10 years. I am thinking that my porn withdrawal happened around the same time where my psychosis symptoms begun. We all know that psychosis is heavily related to dopamine and porn is also obviously related to dopamine. I also have aspergers if that plays a role. I have been told by a guy who has a special interest in studying psychology/biology that my childhood manhandling and trauma due to aspergers might have damaged my brain in the way it creates and uses dopamine and porn made everything worse. I would like to hear your thoughts.
