Abstract

There are many common misconceptions between differentiating ADHD brains and non ADHD brains, the cause of which largely stems from the stigmatization of men-tal health disorders. Though it is still debated whether or not ADHD is classified to be a disorder of the brain, inaccurate assumptions are often formed, leading to much confusion in the understanding of the disorder. ADHD includes symp-toms such as forgetfulness, hyperactivity, irritability, impul-sivity, and difficulty paying attention to details. Researchers have gathered evidence through scrutinizing various brain images and identifying structural differences that strongly convey the substantial differences between people who have ADHD in comparison to those who do not. These differenc-es will be investigated throughout this paper.
