Psychiatrist Dr Samant Darshi explains why we keep choosing instant pleasure over long-term happiness

Psychiatrist Dr Samant Darshi explains that human brains are attracted to instant rewards due to dopamine release.

Instant pleasure habits like junk food, social media, and video games may cause stress, health harm, or addiction.

Long-term happiness requires good habits such as exercise, proper nutrition, sleep, learning, and meaningful relationships.

Habit psychology follows the 'cue-routine-reward' cycle; understanding triggers helps find healthier substitutes.

Gradual changes work better than trying to change everything at once; fast pleasure rarely brings true happiness.
