The current understanding of the condition is that the brains of people with ADD/HD are unable to process dopamine and other chemicals the way that 'normal' brains do. Unfortunately, you cannot test the brain for this without extracting it from the body, which would kill the patient. Dr. Amen has done a fair amount of work linking the various ADD/HD subtypes with measurable brainwave activity, but claims a full EEG or PET scan is not necessary to make a diagnosis. | |
