So you mean ADHD, this is not a genetic linked but is more of a brain defect. I’ve been told by docs and pharmacists that its due to brain chemicals (mostly dopamine) not being able to bond correctly, thus resulting in a lack of stimulation to the part of your brain that allows to focus. Nobody will really know until advanced brain imaging becomes more advanced. VOT It sounds like you just get distracted easily, not that you have ADHD. I’m currently working on getting a prescription for some sort of amphetamine like adderall or vyvance. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/add-adhd/252072)._
