Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)

Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) is a biologically-based disorder that includes distructibility and impulsiveness. Recent research suggests that ADD can be inherited and may be due to an imbalance of neurotransmitters (chemicals used by the brain to control behavior) or abnormal glucose metabolism in the central nervous system.
