ADHD complicates the ability to organize and manage multiple tasks, often resulting in overwhelming emotions. The underactive prefrontal cortex and hyperactive amygdala contribute to emotional flooding. Even minor stressors can trigger crises, leading to emotional shutdown. Individuals with ADHD experience heightened consequences for neglecting responsibilities, which amplifies their emotional responses. For instance, managing work projects alongside personal commitments can culminate in anxiety and potential emotional meltdowns when expectations are unmet or responsibilities overlap.
ADHD is characterized by a struggle of the sufferer to organize and make order of everything going on in his or her life. This sets the stage for habitual feelings of overwhelm.
Emotional flooding stems from an underactive prefrontal cortex and hyperactive amygdala, leading to frequent overwhelm in individuals with ADHD.
For people with ADHD, small stressors can feel like crises, triggering emotional shutdown and causing the individual to juggle multiple tasks with emotional weight.
In the ADHD mind, each task carries its own weight of consequences if not followed through upon, resulting in intense emotional responses.
