Bianca's ADHD & Dopamine Workshop Part 1: Motivation - the evening session

This is part one of a three-part series about ADHD and dopamine.

Many behaviours associated with ADHD: procrastination, risk taking, big feelings, last minute pressure, or hyperfocus, are the brain’s attempts to boost dopamine and regulate itself, not personal failures.
