🟡 Joy is one of the three archetypal unconscious and physiologic emotions that we feel before we know we have felt them. The other two being anger & fear.

These three act as building blocks that mix and match together with our human subjective experience to form more complex emotions such as anger and sadness.

The key neuromodulatory molecule (neurotransmitter) associated with Joy is Dopamine.

Dopamine belongs to the catecholamine and phenethylamine families.

Joy occurs when our unconscious appraisal realizes we have just reached a goal or met a physiological need such as survival and reproduction.

Think how eating makes you feel joy.
