What kind of disorder is ADHD?
ADHD is a chronic neurodevelopmental (or neurobiologic) disorder. Essentially, this means that ADHD is a condition that affects how the brain functions. It’s thought that there may be less activity in some parts of the brain that are in charge of attention, but this in no way relates to intelligence. Other possible influencing factors: heredity; head injuries; being born premature or at a low birth weight; prenatal exposure to alcohol, nicotine, and/or lead.
