ADHD, this is a big topic to me because I have this condition and I have no treatment for it. ADHD is a chemical imbalance in the brain and this causes multiple symptoms of not being able to focus, hyperactivity, and in some cases not being able to get along with others. I am the only one I know who has ADHD and it is a lot different from normal people. There are a few types of ADHD and ADD is one of them. ADD is like ADHD but you don't have the hyperactivity and the attitude issues. Many people use medicines to help fix the imbalance to focus better and remove the symptoms, but for many patients of ADHD, like me the medicines have negative affects such as making it worse and making me sick. Many people choose to cope with ADHD and few people like me have found a way to fight it off. ADD is a more common form of ADHD and most people use medicine to fix it and it goes away usually but ADHD usually stays present for life or most of life. From a person with it, I often find myself paying close attention and without noticing whatever I'm listening to gets me thinking about something else and that gets me going on something else and it doesn't stop until you notice it and snap out of it. By the time I snap out of my daydream, I miss half of the lesson, conversation, or song. ADHD and it's variants are the most common disorders diagnosed in children. With ADHD it is really hard to follow through with instructions and it is really hard to study because with ADHD comes the disability to remember things very well. ADHD often appears in children and sometimes continues into adulthood. Anyone who knows me knows that I can't sit still, listen very well, or stick to one task.
(Here are two brains, one with ADHD and one without. If you look at the two grooves that are bright red and yellow/orange the normal brain to the left is carrying out normally. But the ADHD brain is not like the normal brain and has darker spots from the imbalance in this two orange spots.)
