What Is ADHD?
ADHD or attention-deficit disorder is a behavioral disorder that is typically diagnosed as a child, and involves the inability to pay attention, impulsive behaviors, and in some cases hyperactivity.
It is still unknown what causes ADHD, but scientists have noticed children with ADHD tend to have low dopamine levels. Another thing that seems consistent is that ADHD is a genetic behavioral disorder.
