Individuals with ADD, anxiety and depression often struggle with executive functioning skills, such as:
Working memory
– the ability to juggle multiple pieces of information.
Inhibitory control – the ability to master and filter our thoughts and impulses so we can resist temptation and distractions and learn new habits that help us think before we act.
Mental flexibility – the ability to switch gears and flow from conversations, work tasks and social interactions with ease.
