I don't know how you can test dopamine in your brain, but you can use other meausures to get a picture of your body's catchelomine production. Julia ross, in her book "the mood cure" indentifies cat defieciency symptoms as, low psyhical and mental energy, low sexdrive, apathy, low focus and concentration, cold hands and feet, low motivation, weight gain and sleeping too much.
The adrenal and thyroid glands are important in the body's cat production, so getting the adrenal glands tested with a salivatest and the thyroid tested with tsh, ft3, ft4. If the TSH is higher than 2, then that can be indicative of low thyroid, even if your doc says that it's within normal range.
