Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is diagnosed as a disability in children who are inattentive, hyperactive, and impulsive. Children with ADHD suffer from acting with thoroughly thinking through a situation. Although a definite cause of ADHD has not being found, scientists believe a low number of neurotransmitters, heredity history, and environmental toxins play a large correlation with the disability. About 90 percent of children who have ADHD take a stimulant medication such as Adderall to stimulate the pre-fontal cortex which is responsible for attention and impulsivity. Research has also shown that exercise also plays a large role in stimulating neurotransmitters associated with ADHD.
