I know dozens of people in my life that exhibit most or all of the symptoms described in one of the parent's links, but I wouldn't diagnose them with anything more serious than 'parenthood'.
- Mezzie 5y agoMy executive function fluctuates with my anxiety and stress levels, and it's also well-recorded that poverty/chronic stress do pretty terrible things to executive function. I'd guess that 'being on 24/7 to make sure the little humans don't die' could produce similar results, particularly given the sleep deprivation. Just a constant focus on the 'now' and immediate dangers/issues vs. planning and the future.
- romwell 5y agoThe symptoms I described manifest in absence of any external stress. That's what makes them symptoms. The first question to ask about those is whether they have been present since childhood.
