Understanding Executive Dysfunction: Why Your Brain Hits a Wall
You want to do the thing. You might even be staring at it right now. But your brain simply will not start. It feels like hitting an invisible wall. This is not laziness. It is your brain's management system taking a break.
What is it?
Executive dysfunction is a glitch in the brain's control center. It makes it hard to plan, start, or finish tasks. It is like having an orchestra conductor who forgot how to lead the music.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
Your Prefrontal Cortex is the boss of your brain. In an ADHD brain, this area struggles to use dopamine effectively. Dopamine is the fuel for motivation and focus. Without enough fuel, the boss cannot give clear orders to the rest of the brain.
