ADHD and Anger: The Science Behind the Storm
Does your temper feel like a light switch? You go from zero to one hundred in a second. It is exhausting and often leaves you feeling guilty. You are not a bad person. Your brain is just wired to feel things very deeply.
What is it?
This is often called emotional dysregulation. It means your brain has a hard time turning down the volume on big feelings. It is like having a volume knob that is stuck on high.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
Your amygdala is the part of the brain that senses danger. It reacts very fast. Usually, the prefrontal cortex helps you stay cool and logical. In an ADHD brain, the communication between these two areas is a bit slower. The emotion wins the race before your logic can even start running.
