Hi, what is the primary hormone responsible for basic motivation and getting stuff done for men? (ie. putting one foot in front of the other metaphorically and working towards goals) is is primarily testosterone or dopamine, or something else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Testosterone : Likely controls release and & brain response to dopamine and serotonin, which are both neurotransmitters & strogly affect motivation as well as feelings of happiness & self confidence. Estradiol has been shown to affect blood levels & actions of dopamine in females. Likely, that both testosterone and estradiol are important regarding motivation in both sexes.
