Dopamine Deficit Disorder
A Manifesto of Urgency & Identity
Reclaim Dopamine. Redefine Neurodivergence.
Are you ready to rethink ADHD from the ground up?
In this provocative and paradigm-shifting manifesto, Paul Cambria reframes ADHD as Dopamine Deficit Disorder (DDD)—a neurological condition rooted in dopamine dysregulation, not moral failing. With clarity, compassion, and scientific rigor, Cambria dismantles outdated labels and introduces empowering new language for understanding the neurodivergent mind.
Explore groundbreaking concepts like:
- Reward Urgency Phenotype (RUP)
- Attentional Modulation Instability (AMI)
- Dynamic Memory Access Lag (DMAL)
These terms offer precision, dignity, and a fresh framework for diagnosis, treatment, and advocacy.
