Good point. Permanent(or more likely just long-lasting) effects would probably just consist of subtle alterations to the user’s personality, such as higher baseline mood, more energy, and being more docile in temperament.  
Although come to think of it if we’re being realistic then that thing is more likely to be highly addictive and have strong withdrawal effects. Anything that causes a release of dopamine can be addictive, and since that thing probably causes the brain to produce it in more quantities than even ecstasy does(not to mention the other effect of inhibiting all negative emotions) I imagine that users would be very reluctant to stop using it, and would probably start getting very agitated and depressed the longer they go without it, both from psychological and neurological addiction

i’m not into these effects being permanent tbh that’s too dark

That’s my fetish

I imagine the helmet’s constant hyperstimulation of the brain’s pleasure receptors slowly causes neurological damage. Eventually the wearer is left a giggling vegetable, even when the helmet is off
