Attention-Deficit Disorder (ADD) is a condition that can make it hard for a person to sit still, control behavior, and pay attention. These difficulties usually begin before the person is 7 years old. However, these behaviors may not be noticed until the child is older. Doctors do not know just what causes ADD. However, researchers who study the brain are coming closer to understanding what may cause ADD. They believe that some people with ADD do not have enough of certain chemicals (called neurotransmitters) in their brain. These chemicals help the brain control behavior. Parents and teachers do not cause ADD. Still, there are many things that both parents and teachers can do to help a child with ADD.
