Summary

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurobiological disorder; that is, it is an illness of the nervous system caused by genetic, metabolic, or other biological factors. The symptoms that people with this and other neurobiological illnesses experience are not merely psychological; they are built into the basic wiring of the brain. Scientists do not know exactly what causes the brain's wiring to be different, although in most cases there is an inherited component, making it clear that genes are involved.
