Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, the most over diagnosed and at the same time unrecognized disorder of 'em all. Most kids who are diagnosed with it, don't have it they just don't have parents that parent them. So they get prescriptions when they feel like focusing, but then the kids who really do have it have to pop pills every morning to normal out and when they forget too and try and apologize, people don't take them seriously cause of all the fake kids with it.

Scientifically known as AD/HD (Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder), there are three types:
1)The predominantly hyperactive-impulsive type
2)The predominantly inattentive type
3)The combined type
The term ADD is a term that has circulated the media which has the same meaning, but generally applies only to the predominatly inattentive type.
The proven causes of AD/HD are low glucose levels in the brain and genetic factors (inheritance via a family member).
The most effective treatments of AD/HD are medications such as Adderall and Ritalin. Diet changes may also help, but cannot be guaranteed (changing diet to fish oils and fatty acids).
Finally, AD/HD is a legitamate disorder and to say otherwise is complete and utter bullshit, not to mention an opinion supported by backward old farts who still spank their children.

A condition that's largely misunderstood by both the general public and the medical community.

It labels a set of observable behavior patterns, primarily involving short attention spans, but there's a great deal of controversy about causes. Some researchers have discovered differences in brain activity in ADHD patients. But they've been unable to say whether they're merely looking at the affect of a behavior difference on the brain or a cause.

What we do know is this-- ADHD has become the "go to" excuse used by both parents and teachers unwilling to impose & teach discipline to their children and students. It is also a multi-million dollar windfall for the Ciba-Geigy pharmaceutical company

A disorder related to hyperactivity and distraction.

I have it, and I know I'm not an expert. I'm just saying, I speak from experience when I say it's freaking hard to get one thing done all at once. You usually get distracted by something else, and then eventually come back to that first task.
This doesn't mean you can't get something done, it just means that work typically takes a lot longer because you're inclined to go look something up or do something RIGHT that second. Hell, I'm procrastinating right now making this definition when I'm supposed to be doing biology homework.

I shouldn't even have to acknowledge these people, but to everyone who thinks that all people with ADHD are stupid are seriously wrong. Most people with ADHD are gifted.
