Answers:
The term "ADHD" is simply a label used to categorise a list of psychosocial traits that Psychiatry considers to be improper or abnormal in society. Psychiatry defines these traits as a "mental illness", and promotes it as a "disease" that requires "treatment".
It is not a "disease", despite claims or implications made by certain psychiatric or pharmaceutical organisations. There is NO credible scientific evidence that shows the existence of what constitutes "ADHD" as a biological/neurological disorder, brain abnormality or "chemical imbalance".
"For a disease to exist there must be a tangible, objective physical abnormality that can be determined by a test such as, but not limited to, blood or urine test, X-Ray, brain scan or biopsy. All reputable doctors would agree: No physical abnormality, no disease. In psychiatry, no test or brain scan exists to prove that a 'mental disorder' is a physical disease. Disingenuous comparisons between physical and mental illness and medicine are simply part of psychiatry's orchestrated but fraudulent public relations and marketing campaign." Fred Baughman, MD., Neurologist & Pediatric Neurologist.
"Chemical imbalance…it’s a shorthand term really, it’s probably drug industry derived… We don’t have tests because to do it, you’d probably have to take a chunk of brain out of someone - not a good idea." Dr. Mark Graff, Chair of the Committee of Public Affairs for the American Psychiatric Association. July, 2005.
Such behavioural characteristics that Psychiatry created this unscientific "disease" from are, and always have been, generally considered NORMAL. Now, it seems, inattention or "hyperactivity" (Hyperactivity means 'excessively active'* -- what is excessive? On whose authority?? It's ridiculous!!) is abnormal, a "mental illness".

"We are not "overdrugging" or misdiagnosing" ADHD. ADHD is a total, 100 percent fraud. The many millions of schoolchildren around the world who are being drugged have no disease." Fred Baughman, Jr., M.D. Child Neurologist and a Fellow of the American Academy of Neurology.
"Parents are seldom told that Ritalin is ‘speed’—that it is pharmacologically classified with amphetamines, has the same effects, side effects, and risks. Yet this is well-known in the profession.." Dr. Peter R. Breggin & Ginger Ross Breggin, The War Against Children, P. 84.
".But because ADD is so vaguely defined, even for a psychiatric disorder, it is tailor-made for bogus claims. There are, as the American Psychiatric Association’s latest diagnostic manual concedes, "no laboratory tests that have been established as diagnostic" for "Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder." Richard E. Vatz, Professor, Towson State University, "Attention Deficit Delirium," The Wall Street Journal, July 27, 1994
"The diagnosis of ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) is entirely subjective… There is no test. It is just down to interpretation… The lines between an ADD sufferer and a healthy exuberant kid can be very blurred." Dr. Joe Kosterich. Chairman of the Australian Medical Association. Sydney Morning Herald.

Chemical imbalance in the brain which makes their brain too active. Medications are given to slow down the thinking so that the person can get focused. It is not related to intelligence or damage.i have a thing were i can pop my ankle over and over agin non stop is this a bad thing?
No, having ADHD does not mean a person is mentally slow.I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was around 8 years old but I had a 4.0 in school, and a 135 IQ.
Some claim that Albert Einstein also had ADHD.
Also, Albert Einstein may have also had: Dyslexia, Tourette's Syndrome, and OCD (Obsessive-compulsive disorder).
NO! A lot of really smart kids have ADHD. Our music teacher wasn't diagnosed until he was an older adult! He is a musical genius!
Sometimes the antsy behavior can be overplayed. While with some kids it is a serious behavior issue, with many others it is blown out of proportion and the kids just need to be given LOTS of opportunity to get involved in "stuff."
Our pediatrician was very helpful to us in understanding ADHD. Difficulty concentrating doesn't mean a kid is slow. It just means your strategy for teaching needs to be readjusted. Some teachers can deal with that. Some can't. We have three with ADHD. Two have actually benefited by being overly inquisitive and active. One is otherwised challenged, as well.
Learning differences does not mean a child is slow!
You will find many hyperactive kids have grown up to do quite well. And, as our pediatrician says, there are lots of opportunities for active adults. Many are working for the post office doing mail routes. These are smart people!! And they get paid well!
No. ADHD is harmless.Among children it may cause bed wetting for a longer time.
