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.
