ADHD and Increased Dopamine Levels

Individuals with ADHD experience heightened levels of dopamine when engaging in specific behaviors, leading to enhanced enjoyment and performance in those areas. Historically, individuals with ADHD may have excelled and become top performers because of this dopamine response. In the modern context, however, the societal expectation to excel in multiple domains can hinder their natural strengths. It suggests that for individuals with ADHD to reach their full potential, they should focus on honing skills in a singular area, rather than spreading themselves across many pursuits.
