Funny you should say that, as there is much research to say that ADHD is primarily a resistance to dopamine and serotonin. See: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/evolutionary-psychia...

This is how Ritalin works, by slowing down the reputable of dopamine.

So, imagine the state of anhedonia you’re familiar with from long-term drug abuse - then imagine that is your base state.

It’s a Dopamine (mostly) and slight Serotonin re-uptake inhibitor. In the most basic explanation, more of those two things makes you feel good about whatever it is you are doing. It’s euphoric in it’s onset.

If you play games with this daily you will need to believe that all hard work should be primed with a natural feeling of euphoria.
