Understanding Executive Dysfunction with Depression
It feels like you are stuck in deep mud. Your brain knows exactly what you need to do. However, your body simply will not move. You are not lazy or broken. You are dealing with a very real biological load.
What is it?
This is a state where the brain's command center loses its ability to plan and start tasks. When you mix ADHD with low mood, the internal friction becomes a physical weight.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
The prefrontal cortex manages your goals and focus. In ADHD, dopamine levels are already quite low. Depression adds a layer of low serotonin to the mix. This combination makes your brain's reward system go quiet, which means tasks feel like they have no value.
