About ADHD

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common and treatable medical condition characterized by inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity(3) that is estimated to affect about 5 million children(4) and 8 million adults in the U.S.(5) Among other symptoms, a person with ADHD may have trouble sitting still, finishing tasks or following directions.(6) While the exact cause of the condition is still unknown, scientists have focused their research on chemical messengers, or neurotransmitters, in the brain.(6) These messengers are believed to play a role in behaviors like attention and movement.(6) Much like height or eye color, ADHD can be inherited.(6) Studies suggest that 76 percent of ADHD is linked to family genetics.(7) So the condition is more common among people who have a close relative with ADHD.(8) Adults with ADHD have a 50 percent chance of passing it on to their children.(9)
