Is ADHD a Mental Illness? Understanding Your Unique Brain
You might feel like you are hitting an invisible wall every day. It is common to wonder why simple tasks feel so heavy. You are not lazy or broken. Your brain is simply wired in a different way.
What is it?
ADHD is officially called a neurodevelopmental disorder. This means it is a physical difference in how the brain grows and communicates. It is not a character flaw or a temporary mood issue. It is a lifelong way of processing information.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
Your prefrontal cortex acts like the CEO of your brain. In ADHD, this CEO has a hard time getting enough dopamine. Dopamine is the chemical that helps you feel reward and stay focused. Without enough of it, your brain constantly hunts for new stimulation to stay awake.
