Understanding How ADHD Works in the Brain
You are not lazy. You are not broken. Your brain simply uses a different operating system than most people. It can feel like you are trying to run a high speed game on unique hardware. We are going to look at what is actually happening behind the scenes.
What is it?
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition. It affects how your brain sends and receives signals. Think of it as a management challenge in the front part of your head.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
The science bit focuses on the prefrontal cortex and dopamine. This area acts as your brain's CEO. In ADHD brains, dopamine is often less available. This chemical is what tells your brain a task is worth the effort. Without it, your brain stays in a resting state even when you need to move.
The Action Plan

Recognize when your brain is struggling to start a task.
