The could be a stress / trauma related impairment of the dopamine system that results in a reduced capacity to experience pleasure and correlates with addiction.

Why is pcp more addictive than LSD?
PCP is more addictive than LSD because it works on Dopamine Receptors in the reward pathway. Normally, inhibitory neurotransmitters are active in the synapse. These neurotransmitters inhibit dopamine from being released. When endorphins activate the dopamine receptors, the release of inhibitory neurotransmitters is shut down. Without inhibition, dopamine can be released. PCP mimics endorphins and binds to opiate receptors, turning off dopamine inhibition. Dopamine is allowed to flood the synapse, producing immediate feelings of sedation and well-being. 10 bucks says your in Med Chem with Mr. Choi.
What happens when a substance gets into a neuron?
When a substance enters a neuron, it can bind to receptor sites on the neuron's membrane, triggering a cascade of events within the neuron. This can lead to changes in the neuron's electrical activity, release of neurotransmitters, or alterations in gene expression, ultimately affecting the neuron's function.
