Best Answer

Chocolate contains stimulants such as, theobromine and phenylethylamine. Theobromine is closely related to caffeine, which shouldn't be given to anyone with a mental illness because of a psychotic episode risk. Phenylethylamine is a compound related amphetamines. It causes dopamine and norepinephrine surges when ingested, that is, if it can survive MOA-B oxidation. There seems to be a close relation to schizophrenic patients having high PEA levels, which could very well mean their MAO-B levels are extremely low.
