ADD/ADHD is frequently ‘medicalized’ as a disorder. It is not a psychological problem, but a neurologic difference in how the brain functions. It is a stimulus driven brain which thrives on what is of interest and wanders when faced with what the person find unexciting or uninteresting. Creativity and the ability to synthesize novel solutions to problems are hallmarks of a Stimulus Driven Brain. Many of the world’s most talented people in science, technology, business and the arts have had this type of brain.
