What is ADD? ADD or Attention deficit Disorder is not a fixed syndrome, but an evolving concept, therefore causes for this disorder and treatments are constantly changing. Many believe that genes play an important part and there is some under-activity in the frontal lobes of the brain, which is the command center for self-control.

There are a variety of factors to look at before diagnosing ADD, including behavioral differences and early allergies to certain foods or ingredients. ADD is normally diagnosed from age 7 years when children attend formal educational centers, but symptoms may be observed even earlier.
