Breaking Free from Executive Dysfunction and ADHD Paralysis
You are staring at your to-do list and your body will not move. It feels like you are trapped behind an invisible wall. You want to start, but your brain has hit the brakes and locked the doors.
What is it?
ADHD paralysis is a state of mental overload. Your brain receives too much information or too many choices at once. It shuts down because it cannot decide which task is the most important.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
The prefrontal cortex is like the CEO of your brain. It uses dopamine to help you start tasks and make decisions. In an ADHD brain, dopamine levels are often low. When a task feels too big, your amygdala senses stress and triggers a freeze response to protect you.
