Drive Modulation

Meaning

Drive modulation refers to the physiological and psychological process of adjusting the intensity, focus, and sustainability of innate motivational states, such as hunger, thirst, sexual desire, and the urge for achievement. In a clinical context, this involves optimizing the neurochemical and hormonal systems that govern motivation to ensure drives are appropriate, functional, and aligned with overall well-being. Effective modulation supports self-regulation and goal-directed behavior.
