ADD Reaction Essay

ADD: Who does it effect and what are the treatments?
I chose this topic because being a young person I personally know a good
amount of people who have ADD and are treated with the drug Ritalin, and at one
time or another most people have a hard time focusing and think whether they
have a problem or not. While doing this report at times I found myself looking

disorder, but this was later disproved by the National Institute of Health.
Another assumed cause of the disorder was environment like bad family life,
neglect, and/or divorced parents that caused this. But the more research was
done, the more counterexamples against these premonitions were found. What
experts realized through this research was that the only concrete cause was

twins which suggest that the stronger the genetic relationship with a relative
who has ADD or ADHD, the greater the likelihood of developing one of the
disorders.
