What role does dopamine really play in ADHD, and how does it connect to motivation and executive function? While dopamine has become a popular topic in discussions about ADHD, understanding its role requires looking beyond neurotransmitters and into how the brain manages motivation, cognition, and goal-directed behavior. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD coach Jeff Copper (https://digcoaching.com) talks with renowned ADHD expert Dr. Russell Ramsay (https://www.cbt4adhd.com) about the relationship among dopamine, motivation, and executive function. They take a deeper look at how cognition influences ADHD and explore the role of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as a treatment approach. If you want to better understand why motivation can be so challenging with ADHD, how executive functions fit into the picture, and where CBT may help, this conversation offers valuable insights you won’t want to miss.
