Understanding the Role of Dopamine in Self-Motivation
Dopamine, a neurotransmitter, plays a pivotal role in regulating motivation, focus, working memory, and the sense of reward upon task completion. Sufficient dopamine levels enhance the ability to focus, retain task steps, initiate and follow through tasks effectively. In contrast, low dopamine levels make self-motivation challenging, especially for individuals with ADHD, further impacting focus, memory, and task initiation.
