What is ADHD and why is it important for your brain?
You might feel like you are trying to run a complex program on the wrong hardware. It is not that you are lazy or failing. Your brain simply uses a different operating system than the world expects. Understanding what is ADHD and why is it important helps you stop the cycle of shame.
What is it?
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects the brain's management system. It changes how you process rewards, regulate emotions, and manage your time. It is not a choice or a character flaw. It is a physical difference in how your brain is wired from the start.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
The 'Science Bit' is about dopamine and your prefrontal cortex. Dopamine is a chemical that helps you feel motivated and focused. In an ADHD brain, dopamine does not move as effectively. This means your brain's CEO, the prefrontal cortex, struggles to stay in control and organize your life.
