Is Executive Dysfunction Self Diagnosable? Understanding Your Brain
You know that feeling when you want to do a task but your body will not move? It feels like an invisible wall is standing in your way. You are not lazy and you are not broken. You are simply noticing how your unique brain operates.
What is it?
Executive dysfunction is a breakdown in the management system of the brain. It makes it hard to plan, start tasks, and manage time. Think of it like a company with a brilliant staff but a CEO who is currently overwhelmed and unavailable.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
The prefrontal cortex is the CEO of your brain. It relies on a chemical called dopamine to send messages. In many brains, dopamine levels are lower or do not move correctly. This means the signal to start a task never reaches the part of your brain that moves your muscles.
