What is Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)?

Attention Deficit Disorder, which has been renamed by Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is when a person cannot focus for long amounts of time, is impulsive, and hyperactive. This might look like fidgeting in a seat, making careless errors, blurting out, and no matte how hard the person tries they can not "act" correctly. Focusing is really hard task for the brain and the parts of the brain that controls focusing is weak in people with ADHD. This is why they give stimulants to people with ADHD. It give the brain a much needed boost.
