Is ADHD A Neurological Disorder?
I m reading about ADD/ADHD and I keep seeing in the literature that ADD/ADHD is a mental disorder. I always understood that it was a neurological disorder, basically hard wired in your brain, not chemical like depression or other mental disorders..........so what is it?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is mainly caused because of neurochemical imbalance in the brain, but it can be manifested in the form of behavior problems but not in the form of neurochemical disorder.
Hope this information would help you.
Thank you.
