Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

(ADHD)

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, otherwise known as ADHD, is a disorder thought to be caused by an imbalance of chemicals in the brain which causes distractibility, impulsiveness, and hyperactivity. This disorder effects 3-5% of school aged children, and nearly 8% of adults, although the percentage for adults is mostly estimated since many adults with ADHD do not realize they have the disorder and are not treated for it.
