It blows my mind how productive I’m able to be, being properly medicated after a diagnosis. I don’t understand why I cannot do these simple tasks normally. Why does adderall make me “go” and actually accomplish tasks?
In: Biology
Pretend there’s a worker living in your prefrontal cortex and his job is to keep the prefrontal cortex running well. This part of the brain is responsible for controlling a lot of the things that we struggle with if we have adhd like emotional regulation, impulse control, ability to focus, consequential thinking, and so on. Because the man in your brain is so tired, he can’t do his job right so all of the adhd symptoms begin to present themselves. Adderall, a stimulant, stimulates the nervous system and wakes the man up; almost like giving him a cup of coffee. Because he can now do his work better, those symptoms become more regulated allowing you, his boss, to do whatever job you have for the day.
