According to Fastbraiin, there was study that was conducted that found ‘adults with ADHD had decreased function in the brain connected to the dopamine pathway. They attributed the motivation deficit in ADHD to this dysfunction.’ Since dopamine is considered a key neurotransmitter that drives the reward and pleasure emotions in humans, while working to make you feel good. This is also what helps your mind recognize rewards and finding ways to get rewards. Since people with ADHD have lower levels of dopamine, they end up having a lack of motivation to both recognize and seek out rewards, leaving them unmotivated to move in any direction, whether it’s with personal or professional achievements.
