ADHD, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, is a medical condition that affects how well someone can sit still, focus, and pay attention. In the brain, what makes you focus is dopamine which is a chemical released by nerve cells to send signals to other nerve cells. With ADHD your brain does not produce enough dopamine.
