Brief Answer: dopamine in brain controls. Detailed Answer: Hi, thanks for using HCM. I appreciate your query. No. Adrenal gland does not control desire or drive for things. The desire and drive for satisfation/things depends on dopamine action in brain. Adrenal gland secreats noradrenaline (NA) and corticosteroids. NA helps in fight or flight type of reactions in responce to emergency and steroids helps in fighting against infection and allergy as well maintain electrolytes and metobolism. I hope this information helps you. Feel free to ask if any further queries and I will be glad to answer them. Wish you good health. Regards
