The Super Bowl has created an enormous stir among the football loving people of the U.S.
For 36 percent of the sports fans in the U.S.
This is far higher than the popularity of any other sport in the country. The Super Bowl season is a time of ultimate jubilation for football fans. But as soon as the season ends, many football fans experience a withdrawal, similar to that of drug addicts, not being able to cope with the abrupt end of their favorite sport. This is a withdrawal symptom and it can be duly dealt with.
Natural News reports that the withdrawal symptoms in football fans have psychological reasons. Dr. Angelos Halaris of Loyola University Medical Center is of the opinion that during merrymaking, the human brain releases dopamine, which is a pleasure producing neurotransmitter.
During the Super Bowl season, the brain of a football fan constantly releases dopamine and when the season ends, the brain stops releasing the substance, thus creating a sense of withdrawal in the fan’s mind. The withdrawal symptoms match those of drug addicts, but are less severe.
There are effective methods of coping with this. Halaris suggests that fans can watch recorded football games on television or on the internet. They can also spend their time watching other games like baseball and basketball. However, this procedure may not be effective for everyone.
It is important for a fan to talk about his feelings of withdrawal with his friends or family members because if this issue remains suppressed, it can usher in serious consequences. Natural News says that there is no room for self-medication and by no means should fans resort to antidepressants. It is only a matter of time before the withdrawal symptoms fade away completely and naturally, leaving the fans with ample time to prepare for next season, with positivity and enthusiasm that is devoid of the ill effects of antidepressants.
