Understanding ADHD with Andrew Huberman

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter and hormone that’s essential for driving our motivation and goal pursuit…not just for rewards. For people with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), lower dopamine levels can cause issues like procrastination and impulsivity, and for parents who witness these traits in their son, understanding dopamine’s role can help. Neuroscientist and Stanford University professor Andrew Huberman, Ph.D., dedicates several podcasts in his popular series to explaining more about how all of our brains process and use dopamine.
