Understanding Untreated Executive Dysfunction
You are not lazy or unmotivated. You are likely hitting an invisible wall that others cannot see. Living with untreated executive dysfunction feels like trying to drive a car with a disconnected steering wheel. It is frustrating to know exactly what you need to do but feel physically unable to start.
What is it?
Executive dysfunction is a glitch in the brain's management system. Think of your brain as a busy airport. In a typical brain, the air traffic controller manages every takeoff and landing. With this condition, the controller is overwhelmed and the planes stay stuck on the runway.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
The Science Bit involves your Prefrontal Cortex. This is the front part of your brain that handles planning. It relies on a chemical called dopamine to send messages. In an ADHD brain, dopamine levels are lower. This makes it hard for the brain to prioritize tasks or find the spark needed to start moving.
