Some of my personal research into the subject included the lack of “imaginative play” and its link in proper development of the prefrontal cortex of the brain–being a possible cause or at least contributing factor to ADHD.

These statistics as well as "myths and facts" are simply an initial post regarding the basic research I did. Also, because this is such a controversial subject there is no definitive answers about the medications, the condition, or much else to boot. I have done further research on the topic and come to my own personal conclusions with the information I obtained during my research. ADHD is truly an issue that is not going to agreed upon or solved anytime soon. Thank you for the concern and there also is a disclaimer on the blog about this not being medical advice and simply for my research project for the class. Hi there.
