What Makes ADHD Worse: The Science of the Bad Brain Day
Some days, your brain feels like a fast car with no brakes. Other days, the engine will not even start. It is important to know that certain triggers can make adhd worse, but you have the power to change them.
What is it?
ADHD is a challenge with the brain's management system. It gets worse when the environment or the body places too much demand on your limited mental energy. This is often called a 'flare up' of executive dysfunction.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
The prefrontal cortex is the boss of your brain, but it runs on dopamine. When you are stressed or tired, your amygdala takes over. This part of the brain is built for survival, not for doing complex tasks.
