ADHD is a common neurodevelopmental disorder that occurs in 5-8% of children and 4% of adults according to the AMPQ. This is due to neurochemical and neuroanatomical abnormalities. Inattention errors, difficulty maintaining optimal attention, reacting to distractions easily, organizing, starting and finishing a task are examples of factors caused by ADHD. It is therefore caused either by a genetic predisposition or by environmental factors. Willpower or intelligence have nothing to do with it: the symptoms are caused by deficient executive functions in the individual that are totally independent of his or her good will.
