Environmental dependency syndrome is a syndrome where the affected individual relies on environmental cues in order to accomplish goals or tasks. It is a disorder in personal autonomy that is influenced by individual psychological traits and can be helped through the intervention of other people. For example, adults diagnosed with ADHD have relied on special coaches to provide cues at appropriate times, helping them to make decisions about how to prioritize and order tasks, while patients with focal unilateral frontal lobe lesions have been observed in environments such as a doctor's office, a lecture room, a car, a garden, an apartment they were visiting (where a range of activities were possible) and in a gift shop. Individuals with this syndrome can exhibit striking behaviour, as if compelled to respond to the situation in which they found themselves.[1]
