So dopamine contributes to motivation and the ability to experience pleasure and strong emotions.
We see low activity of dopamine in those with anhedonia, inattention, restless leg syndrome, sexual dysfunction, parkinsonism, akathisia, dystonia and in those with neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS). Conversely, high activity of dopamine is expressed in mania, euphoria, agitation, anger and aggression.
What conditions can you identify where dopaminergic medication are used or conversely, can you identify conditions where dopamine blockers are used?
