Understanding Executive Dysfunction and Brain Fog
You are staring at your to-do list. Your mind feels like it is full of thick, grey static. You want to move, but you feel stuck behind an invisible wall. This is not a lack of will. It is a physical reaction in your brain.
What is it?
Executive dysfunction is a glitch in your brain's command center. It makes it hard to plan, start tasks, and stay focused. Brain fog is the heavy, cloudy feeling that often comes with it.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
Your prefrontal cortex is like a CEO for your brain. It needs a steady supply of dopamine to make decisions. In ADHD brains, dopamine levels can be inconsistent. When dopamine is low, the CEO goes on break, and your thoughts become a messy pile of fog.
