How is Executive Dysfunction Treated? A Guide to Unlocking Your Brain
Do you ever feel like your brain has a mind of its own? You know what you need to do, but you just cannot start. This is not a character flaw. It is a biological hurdle that many brilliant people face every day.
What is it?
Executive dysfunction is a breakdown in the brain's self-regulation system. Think of it as a busy airport where the air traffic control tower has gone on break. It affects your ability to plan, focus, and switch between tasks effectively.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
Your prefrontal cortex is the CEO of your brain. In people with executive dysfunction, the neurotransmitter dopamine is not as available as it should be. Without enough dopamine, the CEO cannot send clear signals to the rest of the brain to get moving.
