Medical scientists think that ADD and ADHD are caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. The front part of the brain (just behind the forehead) helps you pay attention, concentrate, organize things, and put the brakes on impulsive or unacceptable behavior. In people with ADD or ADHD, the front part of the brain may not be able to use the brain’s main signal senders, neurotransmitters, the way it is supposed to. The front part of the brain has very little to do with intelligence, so it is possible to have ADD or ADHD and still be very smart.]]> 2021-04-26 19:53:43 UTC https://padlet.com/thaleian21/ehfatts4i6533455/wish/1461450782 Interesting Fact thaleian21 https://padlet.com/thaleian21/ehfatts4i6533455/wish/1461450785 11 percent of Americans age 4 to 17 have been diagnosed with ADHD.
