What is it?
Starting a task is called task initiation. It is the mental process that allows you to stop thinking and start moving. For many, this switch is harder to flip.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
Your brain runs on dopamine. This chemical acts like fuel for your prefrontal cortex. In an ADHD brain, dopamine levels are often lower. This makes it hard for your brain to see the 'reward' of a task before you do it. Your amygdala may also see the task as a threat, which triggers a freeze response.
