There have been controversies, issues and arguments presented with regard to the nature of ADHD. It has been discussed that the disorder may either be totally affected or somehow affected by biological factors. The matter concerned is whether ADHD, as a biological illness, can lead to cases and conditions that may affect the brain or give mental deficiencies to children diagnosed with it. Scientific studies and laboratory tests describe ADHD as a disorder mainly affected by genetic and environmental factors though its pathophysiology is uncertain up to these days. Observations and tests regarding mental capacities and performances have been conducted to individuals suffering from ADHD and to those who do not have the disorder. It was found out that there are more cases of brain defects on individuals confirmed with the disorder compared to those who are not diagnosed with it. Another argument found is that though children's inattention and hyperactivity symptoms like having difficulties in focusing their attention on tasks assigned, sitting still or being too much participative in class, are triggered and influenced by biological factors but they are not out rightly and immediately diagnosed or identified to have biological deficits or disorders. There are several grounds and reasons on why children with ADHD are not able to associate their behavior and attitude on their capability to perform well in school or to be obedient enough in doing errands at home. Their impatience and daydreaming are also alike compared to the normal behavior of other children who are not diagnosed to have ADHD. Rare ADHD cases happen when children with the disorder do not have a hard time in maintaining their focus in school works and other school activities or chores at done home when mediated and guided by a very patient and understanding teacher and parents. There are many questions that have been raised regarding the association of Attention Deficit Disorder to genetic factors, though statistics show that 75% of ADHD symptoms are affected by genes and that the rest may be inherited as well or due to environmental factors or other existing disorders suffered by the child. Studies also show that there are no existing theories discussing the genetic, biological and or neurological association of mental deficiencies and illnesses. Issues about ADHD being a heterogeneous disorder found on genetic and biological factors and reasons cannot be definitely and explicitly explained and figured out by Single Gene Theory.
