Not everyone has ADHD. Many people have executive dysfunction, but not all executive function struggles are ADHD-related. Sometimes, it’s a combination of ADHD and another challenge. Literally chronic stress can cause executive dysfunction and impact our frontal lobes. ADHD is a very specific challenge and knowing the differences can help treatment protocol! -Dr. Jen
@drjenwolkin Good info. 🤔 Don't know if it's the 13+yrs of caring for elderly parents (with many medical issues) while juggling 2 kids under 5?Dealing with narcissistic sibling after their deaths (lawyers involved)?Covid 2x But, sooo many signs seem to point to ADHD?Maybe a combo of all 🤔
@drjenwolkin And some like my daughter have ADHD, PTSD, anxiety disorder, and executive dysfunction.
@drjenwolkin You can have both, and not be believed. I feel the difference. I live it.
@drjenwolkin Will the standard ADHD meds help Executive Dysfunction if it’s not caused by ADHD?
@drjenwolkin So what is the treatment protocol for executive dysfunction? If the standard ADHD meds aren’t making enough of a difference, what is the next step?
