A lot of people here define ADD differently, they say it's this or it's that. But the truth is ADD will manifest differently for each person. The core characteristic is being chronically understimulated. People with ADD have difficulty focussing on things that aren't very stimulating for them. They will still be able to focus, sometimes very intensely (hyperfocus) on things that do stimulate them. Sometimes there is hyperactivity (an attempt to stimulate themselves) involved, but not always. It's very real and stimulant medication, although it's not perfect, helps a lot of people.
