What is it?

ADHD is a different way the brain is wired. It affects how you manage time, focus, and emotions. It is not a lack of character or effort. It is a biological difference in how your brain processes rewards and information.

Signs & Symptoms

A feeling of constant mental static or noise.
Struggling to start a task even when it is very important.
Losing your keys or phone right after you put them down.
Feeling deeply overwhelmed by simple daily choices.
Getting 'locked in' to a hobby for hours while forgetting to eat.

Why does this happen?

The prefrontal cortex is the part of your brain that acts like a conductor. In people with ADHD, this area has lower levels of dopamine. Dopamine is the chemical that help signals move smoothly. Without enough of it, the 'conductor' struggles to keep the orchestra in sync. This can cause your brain to freeze or jump from one thought to another.

The Action Plan

Try breaking down your next task like this to overcome the block:
1

Identify your 'Why'

10m

Write down three ways your current struggles affect your happiness.

2

Review the DSM-5 criteria

15m

Look at the official list of symptoms to see what resonates with you.

3

Gather your history

20m

Think back to your childhood to see if these patterns existed then too.
