Executive Dysfunction: How to Start a Task Today
Do you feel like you are staring at an invisible wall? You know what you need to do. You might even want to do it. But your body just will not move. This is not a lack of willpower. It is a biological hurdle.
What is it?
Executive dysfunction is a breakdown in the brain's self-management system. It affects how you plan, focus, and move from thinking to doing.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
Your prefrontal cortex is the boss of your brain. In an ADHD brain, this boss is often low on dopamine. When dopamine is low, the boss cannot send a strong signal to start. Your amygdala sees the task as a threat and triggers a freeze response. You are not lazy, you are experiencing a biological traffic jam.
