What is it?
Executive dysfunction with eating is a breakdown in the mental process of starting and finishing a meal. Your brain gets overwhelmed by the many tiny steps involved in feeding yourself. This causes a total freeze in your ability to act.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
The prefrontal cortex is the part of your brain that handles sequencing. This means putting tasks in order. Making a meal requires many steps like choosing, prepping, and cleaning. Because ADHD brains have lower dopamine levels, the reward of eating feels too far away. Your brain sees the effort as too high, so it shuts down to save energy.
