How are conditions that are linked to dopamine deficiency treated?

Treatment of dopamine deficiency depends on the underlying cause.

  • Parkinson’s disease. In some cases, dopamine agonists may be used. Dopamine agonists work by mimicking dopamine, causing nerve cells to react in the same way.
  • Restless legs syndrome. This condition is also treated by dopamine agonists .
  • Depression. Treatment of depression may include selective serotonin uptake inhibitors that affect both the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine to make them work.
  • Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This condition can be treated with medication that increases dopamine activity.
