How is Executive Dysfunction Diagnosed: Finding the Map to Your Brain
You know that feeling when you have a clear plan but your brain just says no. It feels like you are stuck behind an invisible wall. You are not lazy. You are just trying to drive a car with a unique engine that requires its own manual.
What is it?
Executive dysfunction is a breakdown in the brain's management system. It is a set of mental skills that live in the front part of your brain. These skills help you start tasks, stay organized, and regulate your emotions.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
The front of your brain is called the prefrontal cortex. It needs a chemical called dopamine to pass signals between cells. In your brain, the dopamine levels might be low or move too fast. This makes it hard for your control center to send the signal to start a task.
