ADHD goes even further with hyperactivity.
Usually, ADHD occurs most often in childhood and often turns into ADD as an adult.
It is an attention deficit disorder that does not develop into a behavioral disorder as adults gain self-control.
Although the cause of ADD has not been precisely identified so far, it is known that genetic factors are responsible for 70-90%, and the rest are environmental factors.
ADD patients are treated with drugs such as amphetamines, such as dexedrin and Adderall.
In addition, if the symptoms of ADD worsen, it can lead to serious problems such as alcohol and drug addiction.
