Which Disorders Have Executive Dysfunction? A Guide to Brain Traffic
It feels like standing behind an invisible wall. You know what you need to do, but your brain refuses to send the signal to start. This is not a lack of willpower. It is a sign that your brain manages information differently.
What is it?
Executive dysfunction is a glitch in the brain's management system. It affects the skills we use to plan, focus, and multitask. Think of it as a busy airport where the air traffic control tower has gone quiet.
Signs & Symptoms
Why does this happen?
The prefrontal cortex is the command center of your brain. In several conditions, neurotransmitters like dopamine do not move effectively across this area. This creates a disconnect between your intentions and your actions. Your brain is not broken, it is just experiencing a signal delay.
