Why do I keep doing this?
Pick something you keep doing, answer four quick questions about when it happens, and get a plain-English explanation — including what dopamine does and doesn’t explain.
This tool does not diagnose medical or mental-health conditions and does not measure your dopamine level.

Where dopamine may fit
What dopamine doesn’t explain
Something you can try
A low-risk behavioural experiment, not treatment. You can track experiments like this privately.
If this is affecting your work, relationships, sleep or everyday life, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Find the right kind of help. If you’ve felt low or lost interest in things most days for more than two weeks, talk to a GP.
Show me the science
This tool does not diagnose medical or mental-health conditions and does not measure your dopamine level. Nothing you enter leaves your device. If something is affecting your daily life, find the right kind of help.
How this works
Your answers pick from explanations written in advance by the editorial team and drawn from our graded evidence pages. Nothing is generated on the fly, nothing is stored, and there is no score. Behaviour is shaped by habits, context, feelings and sleep — dopamine is part of the picture, rarely all of it.
