Wendy Christien - 17 Feb 2022 - Dopamine

Dopamine influences the power of an individual’s body and mind. There are nmultiple pathways in the brain that require dopamine. Dopamine is involved in motivation, reward and reinforcement and motor control. Without enough dopamine we lose power, our minds slow down and we feel unmotivated and dull.
Like with any other neurotransmitter an imbalance in dopamine is not without effect. Too much dopamine can cause an individual to be overly intense, driven, and impulsive. Violent or reckless behaviour can also be due to an excess of dopamine.
