Which Disorders Cause Executive Dysfunction?
Have you ever felt like your brain is stuck in park? You know what you need to do. You might even want to do it. But for some reason, you just cannot start. This is not a character flaw. It is a biological reality for many people.
What is it?
Executive dysfunction is a disruption in the brain's ability to manage itself. It is a symptom, not a diagnosis on its own. It is common in several conditions. These include ADHD, Autism, Depression, and Anxiety. It can also appear in OCD, PTSD, and even chronic stress.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
It comes down to your brain's wiring. Most executive functions live in the prefrontal cortex. This area needs chemicals like dopamine to talk to other parts of the brain. When these chemicals are out of balance, the messages get lost. It is not a lack of power. It is a communication error.
