Frontal-Executive Functioning

Frontal-Executive Functioning refers to a set of mental skills managed by the frontal lobes of the brain that enable us to plan, organize, make decisions, solve problems, control impulses, and adapt to new situations. It helps us stay focused, switch between tasks, and manage emotions effectively. These skills are essential for goal-directed behavior and everyday functioning. When these abilities are impaired, a person might struggle with planning, managing time, or regulating emotions, which can impact work, relationships, and independence.
