- austin-cheney 3y agoNormally, yes. Catastrophic brain injuries can also result in ADHD. People who develop identical symptoms to ADHD due to stimulus and conditioning do not actually have ADHD and cannot be treated with medications for ADHD treatment, but otherwise for all practical purposes the real world performance limitations are the same. I call that artificial ADHD.
- ghodith 3y agoADHD, like many mental health diagnoses, is more of description of a cluster of symptoms than a concrete casual factor. So it makes some sense to use the term as a shorthand to refer to other causes of many of those same symptoms if you lack another easy way to do so. > my understanding ADHD is something you have from the moment you're born to the moment you die Plus ADHD symptoms are known to vary significantly with age so I wouldn't say this is an entirely accurate description either way.
