Q. If a person is madly in love 24-7, does it mean his or her brain cells will secrete endorphins all the time? If yes, what could be the adverse effects?

What you seem to be digging at are people termed “love junkies” (or romance junkies, or attraction junkies). See Helen Fisher’s 1994 book Anatomy of Love, pg. 53, where she discusses the ealier work of psychologists Michael Liebowitz and Donald Klein who treated patients they called “attraction junkies”. See chapter 5: Romantic Difficulties of Liebowitz’ 1983 book The Chemistry of Love, where he discusses the difference between “attachment junkies” and “attachment addicts”, for further discussion.
