"Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurological brain disorder that manifests as a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity/impulsivity that is more frequent and severe than is typically observed in individuals at a comparable level of development. ADHD begins in childhood, and as has only recently been understood, can persist into adulthood as well. While some children outgrow ADHD, about 60% continue to have symptoms into adulthood. The disorder manifests differently in adults as hyperactivity tends to diminish." (www.adhd.com, 2007)
I really hope this information debunks the mythical "definitions" of ADHD, aka Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, out there. This information is reliable, fact-based, and referenced. Degrading self-righteous opinions and narrow-minded assumptions are not included in this text.

It is believed that ADHD is a highly genetic disorder. Approximately 35 percent of parents of children with ADHD have the disorder themselves. It's also not uncommon to discover that other people in the family (siblings, aunts, and/or uncles) also have ADHD. Interestingly, many parents only come to learn about their own ADHD once their child has been diagnosed. This may explain a lifetime of frustrations and prompt them to get help. (www.adhd.com, 2007)

A type of depression that is experienced by someone with ADHD. Causing them to feel the lowest low. Their anxiety surrounds them and they lose awareness of the world. Many give up completely and simple tasks become overwhelming. It’s just severe depression mixed with ADHD.

Bouncing around on a lot of tasks for a little progress on each. Doing a large amount of work with very few things completed. Complete lack of dedication to one task. Common among those with ADHD
I took an Adderall and pinballed for an afternoon and now my place looks messier than it started, but I swear I got a lot done.
Joe doesn't have much completed because he's been ADHD Pinballing on 17 things all day.
